The Recipe Your Neighbor Is Trying To Keep A Secret

Here’s a recipe that’ll make you feel like a true cowboy, or cowgirl! Perfect for the chilly, dreary days and guaranteed to keep you warm, no matter what the season. You’ll be surprised to hear that this hearty chili is super lean and great for anyone who likes to watch their figure. This recipe makes 8 nice and filling servings, but you can easily make a double batch for a larger crowd.

Besides being lean, this chili is incredibly easy to make. Just brown the beef, onions and bell pepper, then throw in all the remaining ingredients and let it simmer on the stove until all those beautiful aromas fill up your whole house.

There are a couple of very surprising ingredients in this recipe, that I had never even thought of using in chili. But I believe those ingredients are exactly what set this chili above anything else I’ve tried before. This is simply mouthwatering, and it’s impossible to settle for one serving only!

Quick Tip: Instead of lean ground beef, add leftover shredded chicken to this chili.

It’s like eating a bowl of chili, minus the fat, but with all of the flavor.  If you get tired of regular lettuce green salads, try out this 5-bean plate of perfection for a change.

This recipe makes about 6 servings and is incredibly healthy.  Serve it on the side of a baked white fish, and glazed carrots, for a light and packed with protein, midweek meal.

If you have a hankering for some good Southern cookin’ and the convenience of a fast one-pot meal, give this Quick One-Pot Red Beans and Rice recipe a try. It’s great flavor without much hassle or time investment.

I love red beans and rice. It’s a classic Southern meal, particularly good for the cooler months. The traditional method involves cooking the beans with some good herbs, spices, and various types of pork until the beans (and other ingredients) practically make a gravy. It’s delicious, but it takes an incredibly long time, and then you have to cook the sausage and rice separately. This recipe lightens things up a bit (some people who aren’t fans of creamier or soupier beans may actually prefer that; I like them both ways), and even more importantly, it combines everything into one easy pot and speeds everything up while still bringing that great Deep South flavor.

Here’s a Really Quick And Easy Formula For a Tasty Meal!

I am so in love with slow cooker recipes right now! With all the big family gatherings and huge dinner preparations lately, it’s such a relief to just throw a bunch of ingredients into the crockpot and let it do all the work instead.

Not that I don’t enjoy cooking – I really do, but sometimes other things in life just get in the way. If you want a hearty, “meat and potatoes” sort of meal, this Cheesy Potato, Bean, and Beef Casserole is a great choice. The slow cooker does most of the work for you, with only a very modest amount of prep required. This would also make a wonderful addition to your next BBQ party. It’s filling, warming comfort food, made really easy with the Crock-Pot. Heck, how can you go wrong with just seven ingredients (plus water, salt, and pepper) and four easy steps?

Give this one a try – and don’t forget to let us know in the comments how it turned out for you!

Quick tip: Serve with fresh, green salad.

Why settle for just canned beans, when you can make something like these Home-Style Cheesy Baked Beans with a nice blend of beans, cheddar, and bacon?  It’s easy to make and bakes in about an hour.

Hey, I know that there’s a reason why those canned baked beans and pork & beans are so popular by themselves.  They certainly make for a nice quick side when you’re in an extreme rush or are in a setting where cooking anything super-fancy isn’t necessarily an option (I have been on a few camping trips in my day, believe it or not).  But if you are at home and have a little time for the oven to work its magic, why settle just for what is in a can, when you can make something so much more flavor rich (not to mention vitamin- and fiber-rich)–and make it so easily as this?
