    Put up a fresh pot for News Years BUFFALO Chili! Had a raging fire going, so it cooked in an hour and a half. The expensive cast iron pots are well worth ther money, what a difference from cooking in clay type crockpots. AWESOME chili!

    Ingredients:
    - 3 lbs of ground Buffalo Meat
    - 2 large Vidalia Onions, diced
    - 6 Stalks of celery, diced
    - 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced
    - 3 or 4 Jalapeno Peppers, diced
    - 1 can Corn
    - 2 cans Red Kidney beans (you can use ANY and AL beans, mix it up!)
    - 1 can Black Pinto beans
    - 1 can Small Kidney beans
    - 1 can Black Eye Pea beans
    - 1 small can Tomato Paste
    - about 1/2 can Tomoto Sauce (or stewed tomatoes, or diced tomatoes....)

    Seasoning:
    - Salt (coupld of sprinkles to taste, I like it salty to go with the burn!)
    - Dark Chilli Powder (about 1/4 cup)
    - Cumin Powder (about 2 tables spoons)

    Cooking:
    Simply throwit ALL in a pot, mixit up good and place on the Progress Hybrid cook top (sorry, this recipe will NOT work on any other stove!). If you have a small slow, lazy fire going with the top between 200 and 300 (my normal avg range), let cook at least 4 to 6 hours. If you have a rager going, with a 400 to 550 top, it will begin to boil afterabout 1 hour, and be ready to eat in 2 hours. But you can still leave it on for a 4 to 6 hours or even more as the fire burns down. But you don't want it "boiling (bubbling up strongly) for more than 1 hour, it's better to slowwwwwww cook it. AND, the beautiful thing is, you can't really overcook it. I sometimes put his on the stove at around midnight, just before going to bed and loding the stove, and leave it on until lunch time the next day. Crack a dark beer, rip off a peice of bread, top with fresh diced Vadalia onions and a dallop (love that word!) of sour cream.

    I'm now HUNGRY just typing this! ENJOY!

    I almost never use a fan but last night was so cold I had to put a tower fan behind the stove and really move air out... That's really RARE! The stove does fine on its own most of the time but boy not even a fan pointed at it from the cold area worked..... The good news I'm making more chili! There's a thread on it but I couldn't resist putting it up again it looks so good. image.jpg
