This is by far the best chili I have ever had. This recipe for chili is great for football season and almost everyone is sure to enjoy it. As you can see from the ingredients, this chili can be a little expensive and time consuming but I can assure you, it’s worth it! I have tried a lot of different chili recipes that seemed a lot easier but none of them were as good as this. The ingredients blend perfectly for a spicy and delicious chili.  This chili is also great re-heated if you want to make it ahead of time and serve it the next day. It makes quite a bit and will serve about 12 people. Other than the prep work, the stove does the rest. The longer you let it simmer, the better it will taste. If you are looking for a good chili recipe, make a batch of this for game day. Serve with corn chips and shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1756" title="chili" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/chili_2.jpg" alt="chili" width="240" height="160" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1757" title="chili" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/chili_3.jpg" alt="chili" width="240" height="160" /></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
2 pounds ground beef<br />
1 pound Italian sausage<br />
3 (15) ounce cans chili beans (drained)<br />
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce<br />
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (with juice)<br />
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste<br />
1 large onion (chopped)<br />
3 stalks celery (chopped)<br />
2 green bell peppers (seeded and chopped)<br />
2 green chili peppers (seeded and chopped)<br />
1 tablespoon bacon bits<br />
4 beef bouillon cubes<br />
½ cup beer<br />
¼ cup chili powder<br />
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce<br />

2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (or any hot sauce)<br />
1 teaspoon dried basil<br />
1 teaspoon salt<br />
1 teaspoon ground black pepper<br />
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper<br />
1 teaspoon paprika<br />

<strong>Step 1:</strong> In a large stock pot over medium-high heat add ground beef and Italian sausage. Break into small pieces with a spatula and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Add spicy chili beans (with the sauce), chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Next, add in onion, celery, green peppers, green chili peppers, bacon bits, beef bouillon cubes and beer. Season the chili with chili powder, garlic, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and sugar. Mix well.

Looking to make your own Pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year? If so, you might want to consider giving this one a try. This is one of the best pumpkin pie recipes I have tried and it’s very easy to make. For this recipe we are using a pre-made pie crust or a box mix. I know this is cheating but it saves a lot of time. I prefer the Pillsbury pre-made pie crusts, all you need to do its press them into your pie dish. If you want you can substitute the cinnamon, ginger and cloves with 1 2/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. The taste will be slightly different but still good.  This is the perfect recipe for busy Holiday cooking; you can have this in the oven within 15 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Enjoy.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1745" title="pumpkin pie" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pumpkin_pie_2.jpg" alt="pumpkin pie" width="240" height="160" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1746" title="pumpkin pie" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pumpkin_pie_3.jpg" alt="pumpkin pie" width="240" height="160" /><br />

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk<br />

One of my favorite curry dishes is Chicken Tikka Masala. This is a very popular dish in many restaurants around the world but mainly in the United Kingdom. Chicken Tikka Masala is chicken marinated in a yogurt mixture, cooked and then served with a tomato cream sauce. Did I mention the chicken is also grilled? I prefer to grill the chicken but you could also bake it or cook it in the pan if you prefer.  For grilling make sure you soak the skewers in water overnight so they don’t catch fire on the grill. If you are not a big fan of spicy foods, I would recommend cutting down on the cayenne pepper, or leaving it out all together. If you are making more then the recipe calls for, I don’t think it’s necessary to double the marinade. This recipe takes a little work but its well worth it. Serve with white rice. Enjoy.<br />

I don’t know if I would consider this a recipe but to be used more of as a guideline for making a Hawaiian pizza. If you are a pizza lover then chances are you have had a Hawaiian pizza from one of your favorite pizza places. The combination might seem a little odd to you but it’s pretty good, although, if you don’t care much for pineapple you might not enjoy this type of pizza. For the crust and sauce, you can use whatever you like. Store bought, homemade, ect. I personally like to use a Baboli pizza crust to save a little time. I also like to use deli ham and cut it up into small pieces but you could use cubed ham as well. A lot of Hawaiian pizzas call for onions, I don’t put it on mine but the option for sliced onions is always there.  If you are looking to make a different type of pizza, give this one a try!<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1724" title="hawaiian pizza" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Hawaiian_pizza_2.jpg" alt="hawaiian pizza" width="240" height="160" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1725" title="hawaiian pizza" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Hawaiian_pizza_3.jpg" alt="hawaiian pizza" width="240" height="160" /><br />
<strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
1 large pizza crust (pre-made, box mix, home made, ect.)<br />
5 ounces pizza sauce (or more)<br />
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (drained)<br />
½ cup ham (diced)<br />
1 small onion (sliced, optional)<br />
2 cups shredded mazerella cheese</p>
<p><strong>Cooking Instructions:<br />
</strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1726" title="hawaiian pizza" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Hawaiian_pizza_4.jpg" alt="hawaiian pizza" width="240" height="160" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1727" title="hawaiian pizza" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Hawaiian_pizza_5.jpg" alt="hawaiian pizza" width="240" height="160" /><br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees (or if using a box mix or recipe, whatever temperature it calls for baking at).<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Top with mozzarella cheese, ham, pineapple and onions.<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> Bake pizza in the oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.</p>

Here is the perfect cake for Halloween, black magic cake. This rich and delicious dark chocolate cake is super moist and will keep you coming back for more and more. This cake gets a lot of its flavor from strong brewed coffee, cocoa, and buttermilk. There is a little work needed to make this cake but no more than you would expect from any average layer cake. If you prefer not to make a layer cake you can use a 9&#215;13” baking pan instead of two 9” round baking pans. The batter will be thin but it will bake well. For the frosting, I went with a delicious cream cheese frosting but you could also use chocolate frosting or whatever you like. I also used orange food coloring to kind of give a Halloween feel to the cake but unfortunately it didn’t quite get the color I was hoping for. If you are looking for a great dessert for Halloween, give this one a try! Enjoy.<br />

Here is yet another fantastic Chinese pasta dish- Sesame noodles. I usually serve this as a side dish as it calls for no meat at all, although you could add cooked chicken if you wanted. This recipe is very simple and the only work is preparing the sauce and cooking the noodles. You can use a variety of different pastas, spaghetti, linguini, vermicelli, ect. If you enjoy cooking Asian dishes chances are you already have quite a few of these ingredients on hand already. This recipe calls for safflower oil, if you cannot find it (or if you just prefer) you can use vegetable oil instead. This makes a perfect side dish for any Asian meal. Enjoy.<br />

<strong>Step 1:</strong> Cook pasta noodles according to package directions. When pasta has finished cooking, drain and put into a large serving dish.<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> While pasta noodles are cooking. Place a saucepan over medium-high heat and add safflower oil, garlic, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil and chili sauce. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.<br />

Many of you have probably had <a href="http://blogchef.net/chicken-enchiladas-recipe/">chicken enchiladas</a> before and another great way to make enchiladas is with beef.  These enchiladas are packed with seasoned ground beef, rice, cheese and refried beans. The real highlight of this recipe lies within the enchilada sauce. A lot of different recipes call for the white sauce, I don’t prefer this. I enjoy the red enchilada sauce instead. For this recipe, we are making our own. The sauce is basically a salsa/tomato sauce mixture with various seasoning. It is very easy to make and requires only combining ingredients and simmering. As you can see the ingredient list is pretty lengthy but it shouldn’t be too expensive if you have most of the seasonings on hand for the sauce. If you want to save time and money you could just buy enchilada sauce from the store. Enjoy.<br />

Apple Crisp, which is also known as apple crumble in the United Kingdom makes a great dessert. Chances are you have probably enjoyed apple crisp on a few different occasions. If you have not, or you’re just looking for a really good recipe, I highly recommend trying this one.  This is a great way to make good use of your apples at this time of year. Apple crisp is basically sliced apples topped with an oat/flour mixture that is baked in the oven. You can either choose to leave the apple skins on or peel them. I have tried this both ways and the dish turned out fantastic. To save time I used an apple feeler/slicer device rather then doing it by hand with a knife. This dessert dish is great served warm or cold. Personally I prefer the dish to be a little warm when I eat it. It also goes great with vanilla ice cream! Great for the holidays or just as a dessert, give this one a try. Enjoy.<br />

When <a href="../chicken-alfredo-recipe/">chicken Alfredo</a> and pizza come together, the combination couldn’t get much better. This pizza is a great combination of Italian flavors. If you are looking for something different from your normal pizza this should do the trick. The chicken is well seasoned with seasonings such as rosemary, thyme, garlic power and poultry seasoning. If you are using already cooked chicken you can just toss it with these seasonings. If the chicken is not already cooked I would recommend rubbing it with this seasoning mixture before cooking. In my opinion grilled chicken goes best on this pizza. If you want to save time you can just use store bought Alfredo sauce. I used a store bought crust but you could make your own if you want. The broccoli give this pizza and nice crunch and the mushrooms only add to this fantastic pizza. Even give this one a try for game day! Enjoy.<br />
<strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1683" title="chicken_alfredo_pizza_2" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chicken_alfredo_pizza_2.jpg" alt="chicken_alfredo_pizza_2" width="240" height="160" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1684" title="chicken alfredo pizza" src="http://blogchef.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chicken_alfredo_pizza_3.jpg" alt="chicken alfredo pizza" width="240" height="160" /><br />
