Chilli Bar
Set Up A Chili Bar + All-Purpose Chili Recipe! Today I’m sharing an idea that you can use for Fall or Winter entertaining, as well as a timely idea for Super Bowl & other Football gatherings. I thought, ‘what could be more hearty, manly, and versatile than a chili bar?’ I didn’t want to do a chili tasting or cook-off because I think most people have seen that already. Instead I thought about the many ways you can serve chili using one all-purpose recipe. This is how it usually goes at my house: First round is chili & tortillas, next day leftovers are served over pasta, at a fast food restaurant we order chili & baked potato, or chili cheese fries, etc.

Ingredients
  1. Pasta
  2. Tortillas
  3. Hot Dogs
  4. Crinkle cut french fries
  5. Small bags of Fritos corn chips
  6. Baked Potatoes
  7. Anything you like chilli on
Toppings
  1. Shredded cheese
  2. Sour Cream
  3. Diced Onion
  4. Sliced Jalapenos
  5. Diced Tomatoes
  6. other condiments like ketchup & mustard for the hot dogs
  7. All Purpose Chili Recipe
  8. 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, browned
  9. Chili Seasoning Packet – “Original” flavor
  10. 1 can tomato sauce
  11. 1 can diced tomatoes
  12. 1 can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
  13. 1 small onion, diced
  14. 1 Tablespoon sugar
  15. 1 can water
  16. Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours.
Instructions
  1. Combine the base items with the chili and select toppings and you have a great meal. I suggest small servings so you can have more than one combo – you may even want to cut the hot dogs in half. One of my personal favorites is the Fritos bags that you can just grab and go. You fill the bag with the chili and toppings and eat right out of the bag!
  2. To hide the not-so-attractive crock pot, I wrapped it with burlap. I served root beer from a large urn, which you could also fill with beer of course.
  3. This chili bar was a huge hit with the family. The husband loved it, the kids loved it, and it could even be used for a tween or teen birthday buffet.
