Shane What is slurry? also Michie do you drain the grease after browning the meat?

Basically a thin meat paste. As you cook it you want to cook off a lot of the liquid and you are left with a more concentrated flavor.

I don't usually brown the meat if I'm using ground beef. I just buy 90/10 or higher and make a slurry with the wet ingredients. I like the even texture that results from that technique. It's really the usual way to make hot dog chili but I use it for supper chili too.

I usually use a combo of 80/20 ground beef but I drain it. Sometimes I’ll also add beef from the crockpot as well.

I enjoyed it too. God bless you Agallagher! By the way, as usual, the chili will taste better tomorrow but it was super yummy tonight. I love the taste of garden tomatoes.

I only grew 3 plants. They kept me in fresh marinara sauce, hot dog chili, and slicing tomatoes for breakfast but didn't yield enough to do any canning.

There was not a lot of variety to be found at planting time. I got a smaller Italian breed intended for sauce making. They were not Roma or San Marzano but were a variety I had not heard of that grew a very teardrop shaped tomato comparable in size to Romas.

I grow yellow and red pear heirlooms. Besides the tomatoes you already mentioned, I cannot figure out what variety they’d be. The heirlooms are not comparable in size to a Roma tomato.

I was confused. My peppers were an Italian variety called Giant Marconi. The tomatoes were simply labeled Salsa. I don't see the variety on the Bonnie website anymore.
