Easy Chili Recipe

1 lb. ground beef
1 chopped onion
Brown in skillet together and drain
Pour it in a large pot
Add:
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 large can of tomatoes
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon oregano
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon chili powder (or more to suit taste)
2 cans kidney beans with 4 cans of water
Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes.

Buffalo Wings

4 to 5 pounds chicken wings
Black pepper
Salt
4 cups oil
½ stick butter or margarine
5 Tbsp. Tabasco or other hot sauce of choice (more or less, depending on taste)
1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar

Chop off tip of each wing, and discard. Cut wing in half at the joint to make 2 pieces. Sprinkle on pepper and salt. Heat oil over high heat in a deep skillet, Dutch oven, or deep-fat fryer until it starts to sizzle (around 400 degrees F). Add half the chicken wings and cook until crisp, stirring or shaking occasionally. When done, drain on paper towels and cook the remaining wings. Melt butter or margarine over medium heat in heavy saucepan, add hot sauce and vinegar. Stir well and remove immediately from heat. Place chicken in large pan or platter; pour the sauce on top, making sure to evenly coat each piece.
(These can be done ahead of time and kept warm in appropriate container if needed for travel.)

1 stick of butter, softened

Mix together and press into a tray or pan.

1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips, melted and spread over peanut butter mixture. Cool and cut into squares

Chocolate Peanut Butter Krispies

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups butterscotch chips
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

7 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Cook sugar and syrup over medium heat until it begins to boil. Remove from heat and add peanut butter; then add cereal. Pack this mixture into an 11-by-15-inch pan lined with a large piece of waxed paper. When it will hold its shape, lift it out of the pan by lifting the ends of the waxed paper. Place butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat 1 minute on medium heat. Add the chocolate chips. Heat about 3 minutes on medium heat or until melted. Spread the melted mixture on the cereal mixture. Cut when cool.
