Brisel Family Chili

Happy Monday! I'm back. 😊 Dustin was out of town for the majority of the week last week and we were barely hanging on by a thread over here. I'm excited to share a new recipe with you today! 

If you're from the Midwest, chances are high that your family has a signature chili recipe. If you try someone else's chili recipe, it just doesn't taste quite "right." Today I'm sharing the chili recipe that I grew up eating. As a rule, you must serve with cinnamon rolls and carrots + celery sticks. Don't ask me why, it's what my mom always told me. 😉

Brisel Family Chili

serves: 6-8

Ingredients: 

1lb lean ground beef 

1 white onion, diced 

4 stalks of celery, diced

1 large can of diced tomatoes in tomato juice (28 oz)

1 can of dark kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15.5 oz) 

1 can of tomato juice (roughly 3/4 of a 46 oz can) 

2 tablespoons minced garlic 

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Salt + Pepper 

Directions:

  1. In a skillet, brown up your meat until it is crumbled and cooked through. Place meat in a slow cooker. 
  2. Add in your onion, celery, diced tomatoes and beans. 
  3. Mix in your minced garlic, chili powder, and brown sugar. Top with salt and pepper. 
  4. Pour in your tomato juice until your slow cooker is full. 
  5. Stir everything together really well and allow to cook all day on low, stirring throughout the day. 
  6. Top with cheese, sour cream and green onions. Yum.

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. 😉 An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. 😉 I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. 😉 Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week and they were a hit! We loved this eas

How in the world is Thanksgiving next week?! November is absolutely flying by. I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week! One of my very FAVORITE things in the world happened this weekend. Dustin got off work, stopped at Starbucks and I got a festive morning delivery. It's the best start to my day!  I made a few chicken pot pies over the weekend and stuck one in the freezer. It's always such a good feeling knowing that a homemade meal is prepped and ready to go! You can't beat comfort food this time of year. Speaking of comfort food, have you ever tried a ham ball? We had some for dinner on Sunday with cheesy potatoes. They're a staple meal in Iowa! I shared my recipe  here . Notice my Christmas plate being all festive underneath. 😉 Last weekend was glorious - we had two days with very few plans. It was so nice to be cozy at home! I put Sammy's Christmas sheets on his bed, and he couldn't have been more excited to climb
