Dining Debbie's Way Chili

Baby, it's cold outside!!! Our favorite comfort food on a cold winter's night is Chili Spaghetti served with cornbread.  From what I understand eating Chili Spaghetti is a Midwest way of eating Chili.  My kids always loved more noodles then Chili, but we were the opposite.  I've found many ways of cooking Chili, so I took all the recipes and made it into one.  Here is what I do:

1 lb ground turkey
1 lb ground beef
1 large onion
4 stalks celery
1 jalapeno
1 green pepper
1 can green chiles
1 can Rotele
1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 large can of garlic roasted tomatoes
1 can of sliced black olives
1 can of black beans, drained
1can of kidney beans, drained
1/2 c chopped cilantro
Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Cumin, Black Pepper and Salt
Spaghetti Noodles, Prepared to box directions

Toppings - Shredded Cheese (Mexican Style), Sour Cream, Chopped Green Onions

I start by browning my turkey, beef, onion, jalapeno, green pepper and celery.  Cook through and drain the leftover oil from the pan.   Add the cans of green chiles, stewed tomatoes, rotele, roasted tomatoes and black olives to the meat mixture, Stir in 3T chili powder, 1 t. garlic powder, 1 t cumin, salt and pepper to taste.  Heat through about 1/2 hour.  Add the beans and cilantro and heat through for an additional 15 minutes.  Boil your Spaghetti Noodles.  Place a serving of noodles on the bottom of a bowl, place the chili on top of noodles, top with Shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions.  Enjoy on a cold winter's night, when you need to just feel that fire in your belly!  Serve with cornbread muffins.

Cook On!
