Hot Dog Chili

When I asked my mother for the family's hot dog chili recipe, this is what she gave me. It sounded too generic and plain, but it really is great. Everyone who tries it says it reminds them of hot dog sales from their childhood!


Ingredients

1 lb ground chuck
1 small onion chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

Place ground chuck and onion in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
Cook over high, stirring to break up the meat. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Drain the meat mixture and then return to the saucepan.
Add ketchup and chili powder (more if desired) to the meat.
Cook over low heat until the chili is warmed through.

White Chicken Chili

I love this recipe. My friend made it for me one Halloween and it became one of my go to meals. I'll share her "secret" recipe with you now...

Buy two cans of Busch's great northern beans. Follow the recipe on the back of the can. Ta da!

Just in case you don't have Busch's beans...

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 can (4-ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cans (16 ounces) BUSH'S BEST Great Northern Beans
1 can (14.5 ounces) chicken broth
1 ½ cups finely chopped cooked chicken breast
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Salsa (optional)

In large skillet, cook onion in oil for 4 minutes or until transparent. Add chilies, flour and cumin; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add beans and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken; cook until hot.
