When I first started MasonMetu, I was a better blogger and I wrote a post about winning a Superbowl chili cookoff with this recipe my Mom gave me. I made it last night for my card group and got so many compliments that I wanted to post the recipe in our recipe section. I made this as a hot appetizer in the trusty ol' crockpot but it can easily be converted to a chili if you add some extra tomato sauce. You could add shredded chicken or hamburger to make it heartier. Sandy’s #1 Superbowl Chili - Taco seasoning packet
- 1 can whole corn (drain)
- 1 can black beans (rinse & drain)
- 1 can kidney beans (rinse & drain)
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 1 can 8oz tomato sauce
- 1 can chopped green chilies
- ½ cup chopped onions
Mix all together in a crock-pot, cover and heat on low for 5-7 hours. Serve with tortilla chips.

Happy Accidents...and a Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Lemon Glaze from The Comfort Table - Meredith R., Mason, Ohio"In cooking and in life, things don't always turn out how you plan. Maybe there are metaphors in cooking...like when your incredible brown sugar nut topping sinks to the bottom of the cake during baking. Who cares. What the hell...sometimes things look better upside down...giving you a whole new perspective. That's what happened the day I baked this cake. So, when you bak... Continue reading...
