Subject: CHILI RECIPE

Kurt,

Dave forgot to mention that we found a nice diner right in Richmond for breakfast.  They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Of course, we can't remember the name of it; but when you get into town, take a left at the light and the diner is on the right side of the street.  Their parking was on the left side of the street by a bakery.

Okay, I promised you I'd email my chili recipe so here goes:

1        Large garlic clove (minced)

1        Large onion (chopped) 

1        Large green pepper (chopped)

Fry above in approximately 1 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 5 minutes checking to make sure it doesn't burn.  

Then add the following to the above:         

1        Lb of Hamburg

2 - 3   Patties/links of HOT Italian or HOT poultry sausage (I use the hot poultry sausage)

         Salt and pepper to taste.

Fry all the above on medium high until red is gone.

I use a crockpot to cook all the ingredients.

Add to crockpot:

3      15oz cans Hormel Chili with Beans

3      15oz cans Hormel HOT Chili with Beans

Add meat mixture to crockpot

Add two 4oz cans of mushrooms to crockpot (optional)

Leave crockpot on Hi until contents are heated good, then turn to low and let cook until ready to eat.

Yell, if you have any questions regarding the Chili.

Dave and I are laying low today as the temperature is pretty cold with the wind chill.  I see where Burlington was -19 this morning..Hope you wore your long johns to work.

Good Luck with the recipe,

Ellie
