TIME FOR A BIG POT OF CHILI!
I watched the forecast, and planned ahead. Picked up my hamburger Saturday in Save A Lot. They have the best meat. I already bought my beans last Thursday, on errand day. This time I used chili beans, blackeyed peas, and Maple Bacon Beans. Plus a can of diced tomatoes with garlic, and two packets of chili seasoning. Then assorted dashes of ketchup, steak sauce, Heinz 57 Sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sweet honey BBQ sauce, and Franks Original Wing Sauce. Once that came to a boil, I turned it down to simmer, and added 2.4 pounds of hamburger that I'd browned with two diced onions.
I gotta say, from what I tasted, it will be DELICIOUS!
I prefer my chili with some crumbled saltines...
...mixed in. So the "juice" isn't so juicy. But I still want the juice. That's the flavor.
Farmer H said he likes TOAST with chili. He might have mentioned this before, but I have never seen him eat toast with chili. Not even when we had the toaster sitting on the counter, all the years when the boys were living here. But I offered to make him toast in the oven, so we'll see how that goes. Also, we're having some sliced Oberle Cheese.
Which is a soft garlic flavored cheese, made locally, that comes in a long thin roll.
Mmm... I can't wait. I'll try to get a picture if I remember.
[As you can see, I remembered!]

I'm looking forward to making some chili, maybe next week. Yours looks delicious. My husband is not a huge fan, so I can't make it too often. I'll have to keep in mind some of those various additions you add to yours. We like corn muffins with ours. Mine on the side with some honey and his crumbled in his bowl (yuck), each to their own, I guess. Ranee
Rae,
I like corn muffins crumbled in my beans and ham, which we had a couple weeks ago. I've never tried that in the chili.
I never make the same chili twice! It has the same ingredients, but since I just pour them in randomly, the mix is always a bit different. Still delicious! The Heinz 57 cost more than I liked ($5.47), but it was right there in Country Mart while I was getting the chili beans on sale, so I took it. I can tell if I leave it out. Now I'll have the rest of it on hand for when I make vegetable beef soup, too.
You can keep the chili, not my idea of a good dinner, though I'm sure my sons would love it. The cheese, however, looks like something I'd love and I wonder now if I can get it via Amazon. I'll check later.
River,
You might be able to find some kind of garlic cheese, but probably not THIS exact kind. It's made by a family company in Ste. Genevieve, MO. Here's their website:

I looked through, and they have a notice that they can't ship their "gift baskets," that they are for in-store pickup. Not sure if it has to do with refrigeration, or the cost. One thing people know from around here is that they process deer meat. Hunters take their deer to Oberle's, and get it made into sausage. They are mainly famous for their "Oberle Sausage," which is made from beef, and found in the stores around here.
