another that is a family favorite is
Chili
Being a southern mom I cant cook small meals I always end up cooking for an army
so
night 1
chili
*use your fav recipe or here is mine
browned ground beef
3 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans kidney beans (not drained)
1 can black beans (not drained)
1 can refried beans
one onion finely chopped
1 can tomato paste
2 cnas water
1 can v8 juice
celery salt
chopped garlic
chili powder to taste
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
simmer for 2 hours
here is where ti gets interesting
I add a package of hotdogs to my chili
the hotdogs simmer in the chili as it cooks
and on night 1 we have chili and night 2 we have chili dogs
if anything is left on might three
I cut hotdogs into slices and add noodles and velveeta cheese and have hotdog chili mac
this one is a family favorite..
