MAKE & TAKE   -   MIKE'S FAVORITE CHILI

Mike's Favorite Chili

Chili is one of my favorite dishes at home and one of my favorite “Make & Takes” for camping. For camping it’s 100% home made in just a few minutes without the mess which makes it almost perfect. Perfect is a chili that you didn’t have to make sure it stayed in the refrigerator until it was ready to cook. But hey it’s not a perfect world.

What you don’t have a chili recipe? Don’t worry here’s mine and you are going to love it !

                          Ingredient List
  • 6 cans of Dark Red Kidney Beans (14.5 oz)
  • 2 large cans of Crushed Tomatoes (28 oz)
  • 2 cans of Petite Diced Tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 2 cans of Hunts Chunky Vegetable Pasta Sauce (24oz)
  • 1 to 2 cups of chopped onions (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon of Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar (cuts the acidity of Tomatoes)
  • 2 or 3 packages of Williams Chili Seasoning
  • 1 lb. of Ground Beef
                     Cooking Instructions
  • In a 6 quart crock pot, pour in all of your canned items)
  • Add 2 packages of Williams Chili Seasoning and stir in well
  • Add a 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar and stir in well
  • Put two table spoons of Olive Oil in a pan and sauté the
    Onions until lightly caramelized and stir into your crock pot
  • Put two tables spoons of Olive Oil in a pan and sauté the
    Minced Garlic until lightly caramelized and stir into your pot
  • Fry up your ground beef and stir in a package of “Williams”
    drain Ground Beef, add to crock pot and stir up to mix
  • 1/4 cup of Brown Sugar (cuts the acidity of Tomatoes)
  • 2 or 3 packages of Williams Chili Seasoning
  • Simmer on Low in your crock pot all day for least 4 hours
   Have some tonight then Freeze the rest.


Preparation to take from home kitchen to Camp Kitchen
  • Refrigerate your chili for a few hours to cool down
  • Get your Vacuum Sealer and put 4 1/2 ladles for a
    “man sized” portion of chili into each bag as shown
    then seal using the “Moist” setting then put into Freezer
  • "HINT" it's easier to put the chili in cup or glass that
    will fit into your bag
  • Put Frozen bags in your camp cooler w/ Ice until ready
    to heat up and use
  • Chili will be fine if it thaws out and stays cold in
    ice or icy water for several days until ready to use


     Reheating at Camp
  • In a 2 gallon pot bring 1 1/2 gallons of water to a boil
  • Insert your sealed bags of Chili into the water
  • Boil for 10 to 15 minutes until hot
  • Removed bags from pot with tongs
