This is my version of my dad’s chili recipe.   My version came about one time when I wanted to make chili and did not have enough ground beef on hand so I used half sausage and half ground beef.  So now every time I make chili I use this particular recipe.  The original recipe calls for pinto beans but I prefer chili beans or kidney beans in it.  You can use any of the beans I listed it is your preference as to what you want to use.  I also use regular rotel and hot sausage or mild sausage and hot rotel just depending on what is available.   I just do not mix the hot sausage and hot rotel as it produces to much heat.  My dad always makes this for the volunteers when they work at Galaxy of Lights during the holiday season.

1 c chopped onions
1 c chopped celery
1/2 lb of ground beef
1/2 lb of hot sausage
1 pkg chili mix
1 10 oz can rotel tomatoes
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can of your choice of chilli beans, kidney beans or pinto beans.
bacon drippings

Saute your onions and celery about 10 minutes or until tender. Brown beef in bacon drippings. Combine all ingredients except beans.
Bring to a boil. Reduce Heat simmer and add beans. Simmer 30 to 40 minutes.  (Adjust consistency by adding a small amount of water, beer
or tomatoes.

I Know that most people are going to say what this sounds odd but it is really tasty.  Last night my hubby and I were thinking of something to do for dinner and came up with this idea.  Use leftovers from when you make beef and salsa burritos and instead of tortillas use a pizza crust.  The pizza crust can be your choice of homemade or frozen whichever is easier for you

Ingredients

1 pizza crust

1 pkg of mexican style shredded cheese

leftover beef and salsa mixture

prepare your pizza crust and top with the beef and salsa mixture and cheese.  Place in a 425 oven for 15 minutes or until done time may vary with your oven.  Let cool for a few minutes and then slice and serve.

About 14 years ago my husband and I discovered a recipe for beef and Salsa burritos.   I always tweak a recipe to mine and my husbands taste.  One day when I did not have enough ground beef I decided that I would try it with half ground beef and half sausage.   It turned out to be a good idea as it is one of my hubby’s favorite dishes.    Below is my version.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb. lean ground beef

1/2 lb hot sausage

1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well-drained
1 cup prepared chunky salsa
3/4 cup shredded Mexican four cheese blend
8 medium flour tortillas,warmed

Directions:

In a large non-stick skillet, brown ground beef  and sausage over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings. Season beef with chili powder,and cumin,  Stir in spinach and salsa; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
To serve, spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling; fold sides to center, overlapping edges.

Makes 8 burritos.

Blend cornstarch and water and stir into meat mixture gradually. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Continue cooking for about 1 minute. Serve over rice.

I originally found this recipe over at Kraft.  As with all of my recipes I alter the seasonings to my taste.  I season my meat with the Mrs dash no salt steak seasoning.
