Food Storage Ball Game Food!

Okay, so with gas prices at a ridiculous price my family decided to do our own baseball night at home including chili dogs food storage style, grilled pineapple, and corn on the cob. It was a blast! There wasn’t a good baseball game on TV so we watched “The Rookie” (you could also watch “A League of Their Own” or a good baseball game on TV…we prefer Angel games :) and ate chili dogs. Much cheaper than traveling to watch a game, buying tickets, buying six dollar chili dogs…and my favorite part…no line at the bathrooms! It was a perfect night. :) Try it at your home for a cheap, entertaining food storage evening with good food and good fun!

Total time: 3 hours 30 mins
This is a great way to use chili from your short term food storage supply or if you have a large crowd over make some chili up in your crock pot and let it cook all day. If you need a good chili recipe, I like to use this one (Kids love it and it is more sweet than hot).
Ingredients
  • 3 C. Dry Red Beans*
  • 6 C. Water
  • 1 Can (16 oz.) Tomato Sauce
  • 1 Can (16 oz.) Stewed Tomatoes
  • 1 ½ C. Ketchup
  • C. Lemon Juice
  • C. Brown Sugar
  • 1 C. Coarsely Chopped Celery
  • 1 C. Coarsely Chopped Onion
  • 1 Small Bay Leaf
  • 1 T. Chili Powder
  • 1 ½ tsp. Salt
  • tsp. Dry Mustard
  • 2 T. Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
  1. In a large pot, combine beans and water soak overnight. Cook 1 ½ hours, adding more water as needed to cover beans. Drain beans and combine with remaining ingredients.
  2. Brown and drain 2 lbs. lean ground hamburger. Add to chili. Cover on low in a crockpot. ( The longer it cooks, the thicker it becomes and the better it tastes – add water as needed.)…and please, for the love of Pete, use a Reynolds Crock pot liner…they are worth the money!
Notes

*2-15 ¼ oz. cans red kidney beans may be substituted for the dry beans. Remember to drain these beans.
