'Tis that time of year when I actually cook and don't live on tv dinners, chips and soda. These dinners usually last me a week but can be gone in a day depending on my appetite.

First the five alarm chili.....

take 2 lbs hamburger and brown it well adding 2 heaping tablespoons of chopped garlic and 2 equally sized tablespoons of chili powder as it browns and stir slowly.

Add a 16 oz can on tomato PASTE and fill the can with water and dump in the water till the consistency is easy to stir but not soupy

Add 1 16 oz can of Light red kidney beans and 1 16 oz can of Dark red kidney beans. (this is important the right mixture of the beans.)

Add 3 oz of crushed red pepper, 1 heaping teaspoon of cayenne pepper powder and black pepper, and dice up 2 habeneros and 2 serrano peppers, add 1 tablespoon sugar and finally half an oz of Tabasco sauce.

stir for 1 minute, cover and warm for at least an hour.... stir every 10-15 minutes for 30 seconds to a minute and taste.....

The Light Red kidney beans and sugar add to the taste and take away some of the heat...... also you can add 1/2 cup of parmesan cheesein the chili if the heat is too much.

The result will be some of the hottest yet best tasting chili you have ever eaten..... so hot that it burns coming out. But all the garlic and chili peppers will clean your arteries, sinuses and digestive system..... if you can handle the heat, this will definately help your health.

The second recipe is a modification of my mother's concoction of rice and ketchup. Growing up my mother was not a cooking mother and would make my sister and I either rice and ketchup, mac and cheese or goobergrape sandwiches with lots of Parkay.

Take equal amounts of chicken broth and rice and mircowave till done (this recipe does not work well with steamed rice but can be done)....

Brown 1-2 pounds hamburger, or fry up beef slices and dices (the kind used for stir fry and beef stews)

add some chili powder (maybe a teaspoon), 2 heaping tablespoons of Garlic (chopped or minced), cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper and hot sauce to your taste......

when beef and rice are done mix with ketchup and stir until you have even distribution of the ingredients.....

add parmesan or chedder cheese to taste

If you like you can put this or the chili mix into a burrito shell and the results are truly a delicious meal.

Those are my 2 big Winter meals. Cheap and they last awhile..... try them and enjoy......
