My Review:
We are a chili loving family. It is just the perfect meal for us. You can add veggies, and as much or as little spice as you would like. We love to make a basic chili (sometimes the simpler the recipe is the better the chili is). And the best part about chili, it tastes better the next day so the leftovers are always eaten. I was very fortunate to be able to try some chili essentials from Bruce Foods. So guess what we had for dinner the other night? Hmm? Chili! Yes it was 30 degrees outside, and it was time for some delicious chili.
Here is one of my favorite recipes. I made this with the chili mix the other night and it was loved, by my family.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper chopped
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 dash chili powder
- 1 pack Mexene® Chili Powder
- Dash of Louisiana hot sauce
Directions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the beef and onion, pepper and sauté until meat is browned and onion and pepper is tender. Add the stewed tomatoes with juice and water.
- Season with the chili powder, and hot sauce to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

I learned one of their recipes is "Mexene Rio Grande Lasagna".
I learned that the world's largest producer of chili peppers is China. This came as a complete surprise until I remembered all the delicious spicy Chinese dishes that use peppers. I think the Texan in me wanted to have the market cornered for good chili.

The winning recipe sounds good but I think it's probably a little too spicy for me, lol.

I learned that "During the 1880's, brightly-dressed Hispanic women known as "Chili Queens" began to operate around Military Plaza and other public gathering places in downtown San Antonio. They would appear at dusk, building charcoal or wood fires to reheat cauldrons of pre-cooked chili, selling it by the bowl to passers-by."

I had no idea China produced so many chili peppers!

That chili recipes an abundance of ingredients! Never heard of chicken broth in chili-love it!

They would appear at dusk, building charcoal or wood fires to reheat cauldrons of pre-cooked chili, selling it by the bowl to passers-by. The aroma was a potent sales pitch, aided by Mariachi street musicians, who joined in to serenade the eaters. Some Chili Queens later built semi-permanent stalls in the mercado, or local Mexican marketplace

I didn't know china produced that many peppers!!!
As chili spread east into areas where beef was more expensive (beef was plentiful and cheap in San Antonio and other cattle towns), chili with pinto beans or other beans became more prevalent. In some eastern areas, this dish is referred to as "chili beans" while the term chili is reserved for the all-meat dish. Other changes included the adding of other vegetables. Tomatoes are almost always used, bell peppers are common and even celery appears in recipes. Many easterners are just as adamant about the inclusion of beans in their chili for an authentic flavor as Texans are about their exclusion.
I learned a new chilli recipe and who know China grew so many chilli peppers.
-I learned that many argue that chile was invented in Mexico during the 1840's, as a replacement for pemmican; others place its origin in Tijuana, Baja California, or Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico.
