Sept 16 - 22, 2012

Su - Homemade turkey chili with squash.  Brown turkey, add onion and squash.  In crock pot add black beans, white beans, 2 big cans crushed tomatoes, fresh diced tomatoes, green pepper, chili powder (med hot), ground chipotle.  It was a bit spicier than usual, but we just added a bit of sour cream to calm it down.
Cheesy potatoes - diced potatoes.  I left the skin on and used the Vidalia Chop Wizard to dice them really tiny.  Add a can of cream of chicken, can of cheddar cheese soup, half a stick of butter (also diced with the chop wizard).  Put in a 9x9 pan and cook at 350 degrees for about an hour.  Would go a lot faster if you pre-cooked the potatoes in the microwave.
We served the chili with the potatoes to get chili cheese potatoes!
