MY BEST KID-FRIENDLY CHILI
The husband and I love chili, and love it spicy! But cooking for 3 little children requires me to tone it down for their taste buds. We like to add a few dashes of Sriracha® or fresh chopped jalapeno and onion to make up for the missing heat. The kids are partial to goldfish crackers on top! But as with any chili, feel free to top it with your favorites. If you are lucky enough to live near an Italian market, the salsiccia is best in our opinion. If not, then you can sub another kind of ground Italian sausage. It may be light on spice, but full of flavor!

Steps:
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place green bell pepper on the prepared baking sheet.
- Broil bell pepper in the oven, turning every 5 minutes, until skin is blackened and bubbling, about 20 minutes. Transfer roasted pepper to a resealable plastic bag; seal and set aside.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and ground sausage in the hot Dutch oven until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer ground meat to a bowl.
- Heat olive oil in the same Dutch oven over medium-low heat; cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until onions are translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove roasted pepper from the plastic bag and peel off the blackened layer; chop the pepper. Add chopped bell pepper, ground meat mixture, chili beans, coffee, green chiles, cocoa powder, cumin, and chili powder to the onion mixture; stir well. Simmer, stirring frequently, until warmed, about 5 minutes.
- Stir crushed tomatoes and water into chili; season with salt. Bring to boil. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have blended, at least 30 minutes. Remove cover and simmer until chili is thickened, about 30 more minutes.

Steps:
- Start your water boiling for macaroni, per product instructions, but omitting butter. I usually start with hot water and use a lid for the pot so the water boils faster.
- Slice wieners in half lengthwise but keep the round shape together.
- Now, cut them cross-wise into segments so that you end up with several evenly cut pieces per wiener.
- By now your water should be boiling.
- Add your macaroni and the wieners to the water.
- Prepare the rest of the macaroni as usual, cooking for about 11-13 minutes, removing from heat and draining.
- Add powdered cheese, Campbell's can of cheese soup (or Velveeta), and can of chili sauce.
- You can add a can of diced tomatoes, plain or with green chili's if your kids like a little zing in their food.
- That's the way we like it.

Tips:
- Sauté your vegetables. Sautéing the vegetables before adding them to the chili will help to deepen their flavor and add a touch of smokiness.
- Use a variety of beans. Don't just use one type of bean in your chili. Using a variety of beans will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. There are many different spices that can be used to make chili. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations until you find one that you like.
- Let your chili simmer for a while. The longer your chili simmers, the better the flavors will blend. So don't rush the process. Let your chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
- Serve your chili with your favorite toppings. There are many different toppings that you can serve with your chili. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, onions, and cilantro.
