Week 11 - Cincinnati @ Arizona

I  hate when the Cardinals have a Sunday night game. Try googling ""foods Arizona is famous for." After prickly pear cactus and Navajo-Churro sheep, you get a bunch of other people asking the same question. Google "Arizona cuisine" and the answer is Arizona-style Tex-Mex.

Not that Cincinnati is much better.* All you get then is a list of different chili place. Don't get me wrong. I like Cincinnati chili. I just don't want to make it again.

Mostly, I'm just mad because I missed Erica's chili party. My plan was to go up to her party, collect the leftovers, and use them in my dish.** But my car froze in the wet snow and didn't thaw in time to make it up for the game. So not only did I miss the party, but I had to throw everything together a pot of Skyline chili.

Whatever. The end result is Skyline Chili burritos. With margaritas. Lots of margaritas.


I used the Authentic Cincinnati Chili recipe for the slow cooker from All Recipes. It was good, but I was kind of grossed out that it didn't brown the meat before adding the liquid. That just strikes as a little too British for me, so I browned it first. I also didn't put it in the fridge over night (obvi) so I didn't skim of the fat.

If I were to do this again,*** I would melt the cheese and maybe make an enchilada sauce. Enchilada sauce makes everything better.

So do margaritas.



*I know I'm going to catch hell from at least one person for saying this.
**Totally not cheating.
***God, I hope not.
