Only if you do it all from scratch. I usually do 2 cans of tomatos and 2 cans of chilie beans, cut up onions and stoplight peppers (brown meat in skillet while cutting up veggies) and throw them all in, season and bring to a boil...usually I'll let it simmer for 30 minutes at least while I watch tv or do laundry or work on hw with the kid...but the whole thing shouldn't take more than an hour that way. And if you just bring to a boil and eat then it's only about 35 minutes.

Obviously you make a bunch all at once and then the next couple of nights are even better because the chili has had time to blend together

i have just always made chili in a crockpot and let it simmer at least 4-5 hours. i never thought to just simmer it on the stove and be done with it.

Does the fam like it?

They like it more than Papa Murphy's, which I prefer.

I like Papa John's the best because their thin crust is actually a crispy thin crust. Other places have a not-so-thin thin crust

I like thin crust like that, but can't bring myself to order it from places because it feels like I'm getting a lot less for my money.

But the money is in the toppings, not the crust

I mean, I guess thin crust doesn't fill you up as much as thick crust does. But for me, I can't actually eat all that bread in a thick crust. I have to get the thin

I can help if you want, but go ahead and post it, it'll fizzle out soon enough anyway I would say.

I love bread

I also don't get a whole lot in the way of toppings. All meat, no ham/canadian bacon unless it's cubed.

And meaty. Don't forget meaty.

We're surprisingly light on local places. My favorite place is just a little out of the way and a little pricy, but so damn tasty. The one down the road closed a few years back, probably because the owners were ancient.

That's how it originally was done. Throw a pot on the coals...add a bunch o' stuff to it...boil and eat

You should try it!

I get everything, so I usually pay too much for pizza. Everything except anchovies and jalapenos anyways. So I end up with a whole lot of toppings, light sauce, and thin crust

Probably why I never use my Papa Points

If you weren't so secretive about your location, I could use some of my points to send you a free pizza

I like anchovies...but I can never find anyone who will put them on a pizza with me.

I like a LOT of sauce and cheese on my pizza with pepperoni and garlic and sometimes black olives. There's a fantastic Chicago style pizza in Champaign that I absolutely looooove!
