3. Crowd Pleaser Chili

2 lb ground beef (85 – 90% lean)
1 large spanish onion, diced
1 28 oz can tomato puree
1 28 oz can diced tomato
2 oz. chili powder* (ground chilis are preferred - not the stuff with powderized garlic, salt, etc mixed in. Vann's makes a great 'dark chili powder' which is mostly ancho))
1 oz cumin, ground
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 12 oz can of dark red kidney beans

Garnishes:
grated Jack or cheddar cheese
minced red onion
lime wedges
salt to taste

In large non-reactive pot or dutch oven, brown the minced onion in olive oil. Remove. Brown the hamburger in two batches, breaking up as it cooks. Return all meat and onions to the pot. Spoon off some excess grease at this point. Add chili powder and cumin, garlic, tomato puree and diced tomatoes. Stir briefly then allow to simmer gently for 45 to 75 minutes.

Rinse and add beans, allow at least 5 more minutes for them to reach temperature. Taste and adjust salt. Serve with your choice of grated jack or cheddar cheese, minced raw red onion, sour cream and/or lime wedges. Makes about 8 servings.

A hot sauce like “Chalula” adds additional kick if desired. This chili can be also used as filling for burritos or over romaine lettuce as ‘taco salad’ and is excellent with corn bread or, even better, jalapeno corn bread. Great with beer of course.

4. Gorgonzola Pasta ...

Can't take credit for this, it's Rachael Ray's - but I've made it quite a few times & it's so good I wanted to share. My tips are to make sure you buy the wedges of Gorgonzola & not the crumbled kind (because it doesn't melt as well) -- and also for some variation, add some sauteed baby portabello mushrooms or some toasted walnut pieces to the mix (or both). :9

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup cream
2 tablespoons chopped sage leaves
3/4 pound Gorgonzola cheese, cut into pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in wine, reduce 15 to 20 seconds. Whisk in stock, then cream. Add sage, then pieces of cheese. Stir until cheese melts into sauce. Simmer over low heat until ready to serve. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss with penne pasta.

14. I make one kind of like that but this looks better

The recipe I use is basically half and half and gorgonzola.

I pour it over Tortellini and also have sun dried tomatoes and black olives in it.

It is a total carb overload. Perfect winter food.
