I couldn't have a spicy food blog without a chili recipe!


Here's what you need:

• 1lb ground beef
• 1/2 spanish onion
• 1/2 green pepper
• 2-4 jalapeno peppers
• 1-2 cloves garlic minced
• 2  28oz cans diced tomatoes
• 3 cans of beans (I used: kidney beans, black beans and Heinz Chili Style beans)
• 1/2 to 3/4 of a can of beer (drink the rest)
• 3/4 cup coffee
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 package of chili seasoning, OR 1/4 cup chili powder
• 1 tsp cayenne

 What you do:

• In a frying pan: brown the ground beef. Add finely chopped onion and peppers as well as minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the beef, onion and peppers to a big pot. Add the tomatoes and beans. Let simmer for 2 hours
• Throw everything else in the pot and let simmer for another hour or so.

Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya

Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya

Here's what you'll need:

•  1 Chicken breast
• 2 Italian sausages (I used Hot)
• 14oz can of tomatoes
• 1/2 of a green pepper
• 1 jalapeno deseeded
• 1/4 - 1/2  of a yellow onion
• 1 rib of celery
• 2 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1.5 cups rice
• olive oil

Serves: 2 with left overs

This is how you do it:

• Cook the cubed chicken and sausage in a frying pan with olive oil. The sausage is easier to cut up once it is cooked.
• In another frying pan you will have: olive oil, garlic, onion, peppers and celery
• Once the onion is tender dump the veggies in with the meat.
• Add the chicken broth, cayenne pepper, tomatoes and rice. (and a little hot sauce if you like it hot!)
• Let it simmer until the rice is cooked
• Eat and Enjoy!!
