This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

This chili with ground beef, tomato sauce, and a load of spices is for the no-bean chili purists out there. Why go two-alarm? Because the only thing better than chili on a cold day is spicy chili.
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
2 cups water
1 tablespoon masa
1/4 cup warm water
In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, brown the meat, stirring frequently, until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, and paprika. Mix well then add the tomato sauce and water. Stir to combine.
For mild chili, omit the cayenne. For 1-alarm, add half of it. For 2-alarm, add all of it. Mix well.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes or longer to meld the flavors. Stir the chili occasionally.
Combine the masa and warm water until smooth. Stir the masa into the chili. Let the chili cook for 15-20 minutes longer.
Serve hot with any desired toppings.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

If you have a good quality chili powder (not the usual stuff from your average grocery store) then you don't need 1/2 cup of it (and using the cheap stuff at the ratio of 1/2 cup to the other ingredients will probably just taste like cheap chili powder). I used 1/4 cup and it had great flavor with plenty of heat (actually kicked up the cayenne a bit and used smoked paprika). Super easy and no beans for you Texas chiliheads.

Stolen wholesale from Wick Fowler's 2 Alarm Chili kit (available in any decent supermarket) but good chili nonetheless.
