| This very simple chili is made with chicken and ham but | | | | 2 cps chicken, cooked, diced |
| ground beef could be substituted for the chicken and | | | | 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil |
| or ham if desired. The recipe was based on a number | | | | 2 cps, yellow onions, chopped |
| of (edible) experiments in an attempt to match a | | | | 2 cloves garlic, minced |
| particular commercial chili originating in Texas. This | | | | 3 tbsp chili powder |
| brand is so popular that I am told that some people | | | | 1 tsp salt |
| who have moved out of the area ordered cases of | | | | 1 tsp paprika |
| cans of it shipped to their new residences. I believe the | | | | 1 tsp oregano |
| "magic" ingredient that makes this dish stand out is the | | | | 1 tsp cumin |
| use of refried beans in place of pinto beans. Because | | | | 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper |
| of the high starch content, the refried beans help | | | | 1/2 cp chicken stock (or water) |
| thicken this dish and also hel spread the marvelous | | | | (1) 28 oz can of diced tomatoes |
| flavor. It's so easy to make, I don't see any reason to | | | | 3 cps refried beans, cooked |
| buy commercial canned chili, not that I have anything | | | | 2 tbsp brown sugar |
| against it. How long has it been since you ate "a | | | | Instructions: |
| steamin' hot bowl of X brand chili" Ah -that's too long. | | | | 1 - Combine all the ingredients in the crock pot and |
