Megans Amazing Buffalo Garlic Chili Recipes

Steps:

• Chop onion and crush and chop garlic and saute in butter until tender, browning and the smell is overwhelmingly garlicy, turn heat to low and let cool while you do step 2.
• If you use meat cook down the beef in a separate pan and when its browned and crumbly add the taco seasoning as directed by the packet. Add to the chili along with beans.
• Drain the appropriate items and add all beans, both drained and undrained along with the corn and the chopped tomatoes to the pot.
• Add large can of whole tomatoes. Crush with your hands or cut into quarters with paring knife. I generally dump the tomatoes on top and then slice them up over the pot, just dropping them back. This is very messy (and fun) and you'll want to wear an apron. Whole Stewed Tomatoes never fail to squirt when you crush or cut them.
• Stir all ingredients and turn heat back up to begin cooking.
• Add seasoning while stirring and taste testing. I generally add the wing sauce and the lemon juice first. Chili powder makes the chili a nice dark red and tends to be hot in the back of the mouth for a nice kick after the flavor. I also use season pepper, and pepper flakes. Basically you season it with what you like until it tastes good to you. It will always be different. Note: You can use the taco seasoning directly to the beans as opposed to just using it on the beef.
• Simmer on medium stirring occasionally. If it's too soupy you can add 1/2 cup of white rice which will also make your chili even more filling.
• Eat some and let cool on the stove top. I find letting it sit sets the flavor before you put it away.
• Note for Vegetarians: For Vegetarian omit the ground meat. Also not Apian Vegetarian due to honey in the Anchor bay Buffalo wing sauce.

Steps:

• Brown turkey in a pan. Add a few drops of olive oil, this seems to keep the turkey nice and moist and from sticking.
• Spray crock pot with cooking spray.
• Add entire ingredients except for shredded cheese, and stir.
• Cook for 4 hours on medium, stirring occasionally.
• In last 30 minutes or so, add shredded cheese, as much or as little as you desire.
• Eat and enjoy with Fritos, Tostitos, or over rice or a baked potato!

Steps:

• Set the cheddar cheese and sour cream aside until serving time.
• In a large frying pan, lightly roast the minced garlic in bacon fat over medium heat. Do not burn the garlic.
• Add the ground beef to the roasted garlic in the frying pan and cook over medium/high heat. Make sure to fully cook the ground beef in this step.
• While the ground beef is cooking you can combine the remaining ingredients in a 4-quart pot and stir. When the ground beef is fully cooked, add the beef & garlic to the 4-quart pot and stir to mix all ingredients.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese and 2 oz. sour cream and enjoy!
