BEST DARN MEXICAN HOT-DISH!

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large skillet or dutch oven. Sauté onion until it starts to soften, add red pepper, garlic and cook for another minute. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with wooden spoon while browning. Continue to stir until turkey is no longer pink. About 5 minutes.
• 2. Stir in zucchini and corn stirring until warmed, about 2 minutes.
• 3. Add tomatoes, rice, seasonings and water. Bring to boil, cover and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 -18 minutes.
• 4. Stir in cheese until melted, about 1-2 minutes. (On my electric stove, I just turn the heat off, cover and let sit for a couple minutes to melt the cheese)
• 5. Serve, garnish with cilantro and/or avocado, if desired.

BEST DAMN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, bell pepper, Anaheim pepper, jalapeno peppers, and garlic in the hot oil until softened.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; add Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Crumble bouillon cubes over beef and add beer. Continue to cook , scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid is hot, about 3 minutes. Stir beef mixture into pepper mixture.
• Stir crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and wine to the beef mixture. Season with chili powder, 2 tablespoons cumin, brown sugar, pepper sauce, basil, paprika, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until meat and vegetables are very tender and flavors have developed in the chili, about 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Mix kidney beans into beef and vegetables. Continue to simmer until beans are hot, about 30 minutes more.
• Blend sour cream, cilantro, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin in a food processor until smooth. Serve sour cream mixture with chili.
