Fall dinner!

I am so excited for fall! I love fall weather, fall clothes, and fall food!! Jordan's favorite thing that I make ever is chili. Random, I know. Here is my EASY and tasty recipe.

1 chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped red bell pepper
1/2 chopped onion
1T vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 can dark kidney beans
1 can light kidney beans
1 can white kidney beans
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can dices tomatoes
1 small can sliced olives
2 cups water
1/2 packet hot chili mix
1 packet medium chili mix

Saute pepper and onion in oil, set aside. Brown ground beef in a skillet. Add all ingredients (including peppers and beef) to crock pot and cook for 5 hours on low. It has a very strong flavor so we like it with lots of sour cream and cheese. You can dilute with more water for a more mild chili. It is more delicious the next day which is good because this makes SO much chili!

Easy dinner (or lunch/snack)

Cold veggie pasta

1 package of twirly wheat pasta(anyone know what I mean??)
2 cucumbers
4 tomatoes

Cook pasta al dente, run under cold water and drain. Cut cucumbers and tomatoes in slices and then halves. Dice red onion and cheese into small cubes. Put in all in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and mix until the pasta is coated. Sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper to taste. Cool for a couple hours and eat!

Easiest dinner part 1

One of my favorite easy dinners is enchiladas! It seriously only takes like 10 minutes to make and you only need a few ingredients. Poor Jordan had to ask me to stop cooking it for a while because we had it SO much for a while!

8 Small corn tortillas
Large can of green enchilada sauce
Lots of cheese
Small can of chopped green chillies
1 cup cooked chicken (I usually use canned or leftovers)

Preheat oven to 350
Dip the tortillas in a bowl of enchilada sauce.
Fill with 2ish tablespoons of chicken, 2ish tablespoons of cheese, and a teaspoon of green chillies.
Roll up and put in a greased 9X13 Pyrex.
Once they are all full and rolled, sprinkle the top with cheese and pour remaining sauce over the top until they seem pretty wet.
Cook for 20 minutes or until cheese is melty and delicious!

Clean up kinda sucks but all over, I love making this and think it is very yummy.
