My wife is going to make a few things for super bowl sunday, a taco bar, meatballs, and other snacky foods, but mostly I just wanted to share a Chili recipe I found for the Colts.

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 (15-ounce) cans chili beans, drained
1 (15-ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce

3 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cans chopped green chilies

4 tablespoons beef bouillon paste
1 can beer
1/4 cup chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons Tabasco
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon white sugar
3 drops blue food coloring (this is the most important step)

1. In large skillet, cook ground beef and sausage until browned; drain grease.

2. Pour in chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, Tabasco, basil, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika and sugar. Allow chili to simmer for about an hour; cool and place in refrigerator overnight.

3. Warm chili either on stovetop or in slow cooker.

4. Right before serving, place three drops of "Colts blue" food coloring in pot and stir well while saying "Go Blue."



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
