Wednesday Night Dinner...Playground Bullies Style

My group of friends joined a Kickball League earlier this year.  We thought it would be fun, kicking some balls and then going to the bar and kicking some ass on the Flip Cup Table afterward.  Kickball has gotten in the way of a few Wednesday Night Dinners and we don't mind too much, but this week we had a late game so I decided to cook up a quick homey meal before we went to play.  You know what they say load up on wine before a big game!  I have been craving chili, probably because LA has been having some unusually chilly weather lately and nothing warms my tummy like a nice bowl of chili.  I love this recipe and have made it before.  It is from Cooking Light and it mixes Turkey Sausage with Ground Sirloin, so you get two different textures just in the meat, not to mention the Jalapeno and Green Peppers that are added, along with the Kidney Beans.  This chili has a nice kick to it, which of course I love!  Plus, using the Hot Turkey Sausage gives it even more of a punch.  I like to add a couple adobe chilies, to add a little smoky spice flavor.  Just a tip, most recipes when they call for adobe chilies in sauce, only call for one or two, so just take them out of the sauce and put them in a freezer bag, this way next recipe, you can just pull out the one or two you need and none go to waste.  The chili was great, the game not so much, but the flipping of the cups, BOOM, we're unstoppable!  Click on the picture below, and scroll down to take you to the recipe for the Chili as well as the recipe for my Spicy Cornbread Muffins!
