Sunday Supper {Taco Chili}

Y’all, I seriously love a good bowl of chili.  In the winter I’d venture to guess that at least 70% of my meals are some sort of soup.  I shared my three favorites, on constant rotation, back when we did our Chili & Beer party.  Well, Mother and Daddy-O served this quick and easy one when we were down in Savannah and I couldn’t wait to make it when we got back.DSC_0033 copy

Taco Chili
Publix Aprons Simple Meals
1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 (10-oz) cans diced tomatoes with chiles, undrained (I used mild.)
1 can chili beans in sauce (15–16 oz), undrained (I used mild.)
1 can red kidney beans (15–16 oz), undrained
1 (15.25-oz) can Southwestern corn with peppers, drained
1 (15.5-oz) can hominy, drained
1 (10-oz) can mild enchilada sauce
1 packet taco seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
Toppings: Sour cream, shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips

  1. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place beef in pan and brown 5–7 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Stir in taco seasoning; remove meat from pan.
  2. Combine remaining ingredients in slow cooker; stir in meat. Cover and cook on HIGH 3–4 hours or LOW 6–8 hours.  Now, I didn’t start on mine until an hour before we needed to eat so I just simmered it on the stovetop for about 45 minutes.

I LOVE it when I get to the Publix just in time to try a plate of whatever they are cooking up.  I’ve really never had anything that wasn’t good and most all of their recipes are quite easy.  Daddy-O frequents his Publix so often that the Aprons lady will save him a plate covered in foil if he’s not there at the right time.  :-)

I was also excited to use my new lion head footed soup bows from Sur la Table.  I bought the 14-oz. size, but I think I’m going to have to get a few of the larger 24-oz. size for my very-hungry-Honey.

Chalk Project {January}

I have so much love for Whit’s teachers.  They go so far above and beyond every.single.day.  And, orchestrating this year long photo project is just one example.  For January, we drew snowflakes in chalk on the playground wall and photographed the littles blowing “snow”.   They turned out wonderfully.  Those cheeks… I can’t even… While… Read More
