Chili

Some time last month i got super lazy and decided to make something that could last me a week. The first thing that came to my mind was Chili (a.k.a chili con carne). Like my Mexican casserole, i got the recipe from Food Management class in high school. We never made it in class so i tried it out at home and my mom loved it! Ever since then, Chili became my first choice week-long food cuz you can derive and make so many other dishes from that one pot of Chili. The good thing about it is: you can substitute the meat with ground pork, ground beef, ground chicken, sausages, or even leave it meatless. I like the original ground beef best but this time i used ground turkey since PP was out of beef. Anyhoo, all you have to do is chuck everything in a big pot and let it simmer for a few hours, sound easy enough? I had my chili in 4 different ways: with rice, with macaroni, chili fries, and with chips. So for like, 4 days, all i had was this and I'm still not sick of it :D Wahahaha.
