There is definitely bad stuff in Greek life, and it can feed on itself in a group full of and run by dumb kids. I think some of the guys I was friends with in college were in SAE, and would love to hear from them.

ION, I made chili for dinner for the first time in a while, and I forgot how easy and delicious it is! I make it the laziest way possible, I just chop an onion and then the rest is cans.

Mine is so lazy I don't even use an onion. And since Tim is vegetarian, we get a bag of fake-meat "ground beef" crumbles, which I just dump into the pot with the contents of the cans.
I make a very bean-y chili, which I know is anathema to some folks. I just like beans.

Oh yeah, I also cook the meat. But still, super fast and easy.

Hey. New board.
I love a good fast chili, though I also occsionally make the crazy ones. I made this [link] super intense vegetarian chili for a chili cook off a few weeks ago and won second place. Second place in a TN cook off with a vegetarian option! I spent hours on it, though, since I even made the beans from dried (we are trying to reduce canned goods becauze BPA). It is very good, but if you decide to tackle it make a bunch of the chili paste (the first step) so that later chili batches are easier. Or just make a big batch of the whole thing and freeze. And use less of the hot peppers and chipotle, unless you really like it spicy. I reduced both by half and it was still on the spicy side.

Yeah, I'll pretty much never make a Food Lab recipe -- just like America's Test Kitchen! I don't care enough to spend the time when the quick version is also delicious. I believe the "best ever" version is better, but not enough better for me.

My favorite way to make chili at home when I have the time is to prep it quickly and then stick it in the crock pot for the day. The flavors really intensify after some time in the crock pot.

But that is a very impressive result, Gris!

Hey. New board.
Ha, totally fair. It is a passion project thing. I did triple the chili paste last time, though, so making it again is essentially an onion and cans, since I noe have frozen paste. The chili paste is most of the work in the food lab chili recipes. Well, the meat ones also have crazy meat work, but I see no value in meat chili. Weird that way.
I also made the food lab's six hour tomato sauce yesterday. Which sounds worse than it is, since it just sits in the oven for essentially all six of those hours. The worst part was opening and cleaning six cans of tomatoes!
