Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.


4 pounds ground beef chuck or venison
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano (preferably mexican oregano)
2 tablespoons chili powder (or more, to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt, to taste
6 dashes tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
2 cups hot water
1 1/2 cup canned whole tomatoes, undrained
Place the meat, onion and garlic in a Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat until the lightly browned.
Add the oregano, chili powder, cumin, salt and Tabasco. Pour in the water and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
Skim fat during the cooking, if desired. Serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
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.

This recipe has always (years and years) been my favorite recipe for chili. I even make it meatless and use some of the meatless types of veggie patties in the pot and it turns out great!! This time of the year requires meatless soups and this is my go-to chili instead of soup! It's a winner!!

I discovered this recipe in a magazine over 30 years ago. It has been my favourite ever since. It is the best chili recipe I have ever tasted.
