Lamb Chipotle Chili

~ esdowling1 ~ 11 Comments

Hey everybody!

So I decided on a chili recipe because I wanted something that I could cook at the beginning of the week and then have it for lunch a few days and freeze the rest for another time. I used lamb in the recipe because… why not use lamb? Most recipies with ground beef can use a little lamb for more flavor. Also, if you get heartburn, like me, you might want to use less of each spice that’s thrown in there. I probably should have, but it’s worth it. Anyways, here’s the recipe:

1 lb ground beef

1lb ground lamb

1lb hot Italian sausage

5 tbls chili powder

1 tbls ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

2 cloves of minced garlic, or if your like me, 3 or 4

1 large onion diced, but I think I just used a few yellow onions I had from the chicken hearts

1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 15 oz can of tomato sauce

1 14 oz can of kidney beans

I think I used a teaspoon or two of chipotle powder I got from the grocery store

1 6 oz can of tomato paste

salt and pepper to taste

Chicken Hearts

Hey Everybody!

I’ve uploaded a video on how to make one of my favorite recipes that I always come back to when I want a home cooked, comfort food, meal. While most, if not everyone, on this blog probably doesn’t think of chicken hearts when they think of comfort food, I’m asking everyone to just give it a try. My girlfriend didn’t want to try it at all, but once she did she loved it! A few of my friends have tried it as well, and everyone who has tried it is converted into a chicken heart lover. As I said in my first post, I’m a college student who is on a budget, and one of the best things about chicken hearts is that a big pack of them are less than $2!. While I don’t give amounts for different spices, you can see about how much of each spice I used in the video. If your apprehensive of just throwing spices in your meal, it just takes practice! Just add a little in, taste, add more, taste, etc. until you end up with the perfect amount of spice for you.

In this recipe I used:

About 1 pack of chicken hearts (around $1.50 at publix)

5 small yellow onions

2 packs of mushrooms

cayenne, smoked paprika, garlic/garlic powder, curry powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and just about anything you want to throw in there! (although this is my favorite combo of spices in chicken hearts).

Hello everyone,

My name is Embree Dowling, and I love to fish, surf, hang out with my girlfriend, play with my dog, etc. etc. But, one of my many passions, that I actually get to do on a daily basis, is cooking. I want you to think of your favorite food dish, or one you have been wanting to make, and tell me to make it! I haven’t met a food I didn’t like to cook yet, so I’ll try anything (as long as it doesn’t break my bank -hint- no lobster). I’ll post a video of the cooking process, my recipe for the dish, and descriptions/jokes/history.

I’ll be making a video later tonight that will show you how it looks! Leave your comments below, or if you haven’t thought of any yet post them on my upcoming video blogs.

Thank you I hope you enjoy!
