another winner!

oh man! 2 nights in a row!!...that means i'm going to have a BIG disaster soon!! haha...this is too good to be true!


i can't think of a better meal on a night like this!! this chili recipe had rave reviews on kraft foods...and i modified it a little...

1 1/2lb ground beef (browned and drained), 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 finely chopped onion, 2 cans of beans (i used kidney beans), 1 pack chili seasoning, 1 jar of mild salsa (i think this is the trick!), 1/2 cup of water, a few good squirts of ketchup, and a little bit of garlic...juuuust a little bit....

pile it in the slow cooker...low for 5 hours...YUM! served with a little sour cream and shredded cheese...then matched up with good ole jiffy corn muffins...man i love those things (recipe on the box, but add a can of corn!)

hurry home, lee!

I had so much to catch up on!!! I'm hoping you've got plenty left so you can have food for the snowstorm that is coming!!! I wish I could come to your house early in the morning & whisper to you while you were sleeping in bed in the wee early morning hours like I used to..."No school today, sweet girl -- we've got snow...go back to sleep. It's a snow day!". ILY

That looks so yummy!! I see you use Saran wrap in your slow cooker, it doesn't melt?? What brand do you use? I love it when I find out tips to help me with dishes. The one thing I hate the most about cooking is the dishes!!

its not saran wrap--its the reynolds wrap slow cooker liners!! i love it!! you're exactly right, i hate the clean up...and those liners make it a sinch! its allowed me to use my crock pot more!! the only thing i have to be careful of is when i make a meat in there and use a knife to cut it--i will poke a hole in it by accident! oh well!
