OVEN CHILI

It's GAME DAY in Florida and Kentucky is comin' to call. This year, it's again about 'THE STREAK.

No, not that streak

I am talking about the nations longest active winning streak. 

Kentucky hasn't beat Florida in over 30 years. 

We stole one from them last year, so why should this year be any different?

It's a 7:30 evening game, so lets whip up a great pre game fest, while we watch our Ball State Cardinals get embarrassed by Notre Dame in South Bend. (Hey they got a cool million to play this game, so why not?)

Today we are making some low carb Oven Chill. 

Goes great with a sandwich or chips. We added some Cole Slaw to make it a real treat before the game.

Here is what you will need:

3 SMALL ONIONS

6 CLOVES GARLIC

3 TBL OLIVE OIL

2 CANS HATCH CHILIS (4 OZ EACH)

1 CANS BLACK SOY BEANS (16 OZ EACH)

1 CAN TOMATO PASTE (29 OZ)

1 CAN CRUSHED TOMOATOS (28 OZ) IF YOU USE DICED, YOU SHOULD GRIND THEM UP IN A BLENDER

2 LBS GROUND CHUCK (CHILI GRIND IS BEST)

2 TSP CORIANDER SEEDS (GROUND UP)

2 TSP GROUND CUMIN

¼ CUP CHILL POWDER

1 TSP OREGANO

COMBINE ALL THE SPICES IN A BOWL

CHOP OR PRESS THE GARLIC

Wasn't that easy ??? And you were going to order a Pizza.......

Let's have a beer. The Ball State game is starting.

It turned into a great game !!!! Ball State hung in there.

 They lost 24-16 but made a real game out of it. Chirp Chirp

So the game is over and it's time to eat. Doesn't it look SO GOOD!!!!

OK, belly is full and the Wildcats are in the Swamp.

Are you kidding me ?? 27 to 16 ???

It turned into a Gator Nightmare. We were out classed, out played, and out coached. AND THE STREAK ENDS.

Kudos to Kentucky, they deserved the win. Looks like our rebuilding will take longer than we thought. I have a feeling it's going to be a long season.

Next week Colorado State comes to call. See you then.

Live long and prosper.

OH, I forgot the cute doggie picture.
