can of corn niblets (rinsed and drained)
If you can find cans of hominy, it rocks in chili. Also, one way to punch up the corn is to toss it in a dry skillet until it gets all browned and toasty.

I've heard other people say nice things about a good slug of beer
Oh, yeah. A friend on Facebook recommended adding a can of beer to chili.
Me, I'd rather *drink* beer with my chili.

No reason you can't do both.

I'm going to be making up some chili this weekend! In my grocery delivery from yesterday, I had some canned beans, canned tomatoes, onions, and lean ground beef included, and I already have a spice mix. I figure I'll just dump all of those together (maybe I'll add some beer--I've got a few leftover bottles of Smithwicks!) into the crock pot and cook for several hours, after browning the meat and sauteeing the onion, of course. Should I cook the onions and beef together?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think my head hurts too much to go out for sushi after work, but I will be having it this weekend at some point.

I love all hese chili recipes.
Sue, does the zucchini get weird and mushy in the chili. When I used to cook vegetarian and add zucchini to my chili, it used to somehow turn the chili into minestrone for me.

I don't think I've ever seen it here, but I've never looked for it.

I must try that.

Sophia, I tend to cook my down a fair bit, so it does get a little mushy, but the tomato paste thickens up what all the moisture coming out of the veggies would make soupy.

Do you guys have a long weekend this weekend? We have no holidays between New Year and Easter, it's so wrong.
