EASY HOMEMADE CHILI

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the beef and onion and saute until meat is browned and onion is tender. Add the stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, beans and water.
• Season with the chili powder, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.

MEMAW'S CHILI

Steps:

• In saucepan, brown onion and garlic in oil until almost transparent.(Can be added without browning but adds a sweeter flavor) Keep to side.
• Mix meat by hand in large bowl. Add 1/4 cup flour and mix into meat by hand.
• In large pot, brown meat mixture throughout, will still have pink cast to meat. Takes 3 to 5 minutes.
• Leave all juices and meat in pan, add enough beef broth to cover meat. Bring to boil-turn down to simmer. Add browned onion/garlic.
• Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours until stew meat is fork tender. (Check meat ever 30 minutes or so to add broth if needed).
• Remove from heat and add rest of the ingredients. Stir and enjoy.
• Yummy in the winter especially. Great for frito pies or with cornbread -- oh it's great anyways you want to eat it!

MAMAW PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Bake your pie shells according to package directions and let them cool completely.
• While your pie shells are baking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium and add the pecans and coconut. Toast your coconut and pecans in the butter until they become golden brown (roughly 10 minutes). Keep stirring constantly -- these can scorch easily. Set them aside to let them cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until creamy. Fold in your whipped topping by hand -- be careful not to "break it down" too much, but still get it incorporated nicely (it's such a fine line, isn't it?).
• Have your baked and cooled pie shells ready to fill -- it's time to start layering!
• Start by using 1/2 of your cream cheese mixture and divide that evenly between the two pie shells (so, technically, each pie will get 1/4 of the mixture).
• Drizzle 1/4 of your caramel sauce over the cream cheese mixture on each pie, use 1/4 per pie and 1/2 the jar total for this layer.
• Sprinkle 1/4 of the pecan/coconut mixture over the caramel on each pie. Again, use 1/2 of the mixture total.
• Repeat the layers, using the remaining ingredients. Place pies in the freezer overnight.
• You'll pull them out about about 20-30 minutes before serving to let them thaw a bit. You can store them in your freezer for about a month. I double wrap mine in Press-N-Seal and then add an additional layer of foil on top of that, to prevent any freezer burn.
