Here's some Red Hot Chili Peppers to get us in a chili eating mood.
Also--the quintessential cheddar corn bread (sans jalapeños--I forgot to buy them!)
Kroger's was out of the 'grillers' fake burger, so I got the fake sausage. Verdict? Honestly, I really enjoy this. I very, very rarely buy fake meat stuff--but in chili, it somehow just makes it for me. (and yes, there is chili splattered on the bag. Set the spatula on it)
Other than substituting fake meat--its my variation of the family recipe. We have one base chili recipe created by my grandmother, but everyone of us--Mom, Aunts, Sister and myself--we each make it slightly differently. AND my grandmother also told all of us that she made it slightly different than the recipe, herself. She wouldn't tell us what was different, though. She was very, very secretive about her recipes. So, I can't tell you what's in it either. Just know--it's mad delicious.

I couldn't help but notice- it's not red...
Darius--Totally!! I had gotten some fresh jalapenos, but I like using the pickled ones in my bread. Fresh tend to be unpleasantly crunchy...
Buffalo--ah, you've found a secret! This is very light on the tomato product.
I get most of my red from using high asta chili powder, and also adding paprika! I was in a contest a couple of weeks ago, and made white chili- mine was the only one close to white!
Oh yeah, I forgot! I want your cornbread with cheese in it!!!
That's a really good tip with the fake meat. I'll have to tell my aunt...
did I forget to comment over here? I am sending you some chile this week if it kills me!
Buffalo--I've never made white chili.. and the cornbread is excellent! 90% of that loaf was eaten within 5 minutes of pulling it from the oven ;)
Blonde--The chili flavor masks the fake meat taste--it really works surprisingly well
Doggy--Yes! You need to send me chile! I'm making chili again for Christmas Eve dinner with the family--there's your deadline ;)
little package on its way.......tomorrow
You rock! Be sure to include your return address--we'll send something up to you as well :)
This reminds me I really want to make my white chicken chili...it has won awards! Not from me..but Husband's aunt won something with my recipe.
That's fantastic! Post a pic of it when you make it ;)
Looks great! We love meatless chili. I've been using crumbled tempeh in mine lately but I also do an all vegetable version.
I almost made my chili yesterday vegetarian, but the last time I tried to sneak 'weird' food in on my game day friends, they noticed...so only for moi at home...yours looks good!
