Mrs Lundins Chili With Noodles Recipes

WISCONSIN BLUE RIBBON CHILI

Steps:

• Place ground beef into a large soup pot over medium heat. Cook the beef until it begins to lose its pink color, about 8 minutes, breaking the meat up into crumbles as it cooks; stir in celery, red bell pepper, and onion. Continue to cook until the beef is browned, about 8 more minutes. Drain excess fat.
• Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato juice, water, chili powder, brown sugar, and beef bouillon cubes; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the macaroni, and continue simmering until the pasta is tender, 10 to 15 more minutes.

CHILI WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onion and garlic, then drain off excess fat.
• While browning, pour tomato sauce and water into large pot.
• Stir in chili powder, red pepper, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Add browned ground beef mixture. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
• Add beans and noodles. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes, then turn off heat.
• Let the hot chili stand on the stove (10 minutes or so until noodles are cooked).
• Add more water if it's thicker than you prefer and/or when reheating leftover soup.

GRANNY'S CHILI (WITH NOODLES)

Steps:

• In a large pot or dutch oven, cook ground chuck. Then, saute onion in the fat.
• In a separate pot, boil macaroni according to instructions on box.
• Once the onion and ground chuck are cooked, add the cans of Varallo chili, tomato juice, spices, and water. (Here's a tip, just fill both cans 2/3rds of the way up with water -- that should be plenty)
• After the macaroni is cooked, dump in into the big pot with the chili and simmer and reduce for around 30 minutes.
• Enjoy!
