It turned out pretty good. I cooked up some whole wheat spiral pasta to
put under it. And, it turns out, we kept our power on and water running
thru the pipes even tho we had rain, freezing rain, snow and sleet.
Primary roads are clear but it'll be a while before all secondary roads
are.


 MP> Also, I am curious what makes it "mock"... sounds like a chili to me!
 MP> ;)

My usual chili takes a lot more time/fuss. I'll put in an assortment of
peppers, meat will be usually be beef but used a combo of beef, goat and
elk in a prize winning chili. I'll also use onions, tomatoes (diced and
paste), then cook it long and low, letting it really combine flavors.
That's my competition style chili; I also make a family friendly one
with ground beef, bell pepper, onion, beans, tomato, corn and various
powdered peppers. It's milder, more for those that don't like it hot
(but it has also won a couple of cook offs). UDD introduced me to the
first version of chili; the second (family friendly) is a take off on
what Steve and I grew up with.
