I was thinking tonight as I was fixing chili for supper about ingredients that we all use that might not be the norm in a particular dish.
Several came to mind:
- Softened butter in deviled eggs
- Lipton Cream of Chicken Soup Mix (dry) in creamed potatoes
- V-8 Juice in chili
- Pinch of salt in orange juice
- Vanilla in hot chocolate
- Sage in meatloaf
These aren't so unusual, but I am sure you have some great secrets to share. Post them for us all to try.
This is the chili recipe that we have decided over the years is our favorite. I welcome (beg) each of you to post your favorite chili recipe. Now that fall is upon us we will have lots of cool night to enjoy a hearty bowl of chili.
