Today, I am doing something that I haven’t done before on my blog – a virtual link up. I am doing this in partnership with Bush’s Beans and Aggie’s Kitchen. First off, I am going to share my recipe for Simple Chili and Bush’s Beans.
The theme for this link up is “Winter Comfort Foods”. For me, one of my favorite winter comfort foods is a nice hot bowl of chili. I also love to add some toppings – diced onion, shredded cheese, corn chips, or a dollop of sour cream. I also love the heartiness of chili. It is so filling you could eat just that for your meal. However, I do love to pair it with corn bread or breadsticks! This one is easy to make and kicks a nice change of flavor from the addition of chili sauce!
So now just below the recipe is where you get to be involved.

Baked Bean Quesadillas
One 28-oz. can Bush’s Country Style Baked Beans
6 flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 Tbs. melted butter or spray oil
1 cup low-fat sour cream
3 cups coarsely grated white or yellow Cheddar cheese
5 Anaheim mild green chilies, seeded, thinly sliced
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped, optional
Drain beans and reserve sauce. Heat grill or griddle to medium-high. Lay tortillas flat on work surface and spray tops with oil or brush with butter and flip over. Mix reserved bean sauce and sour cream. On top half of each tortilla, spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of sour cream mixture, baked beans, cheese, chilies (may substitute canned chopped mild green chilies), green onions and cilantro, if using. Fold empty, bottom portion of tortilla over ingredients.
Arrange quesadillas on griddle or grill grate and cook until tortillas are browned on both sides and cheese is melted, up to 2 minutes each side. If they brown too quickly on grill, move them to a cooler section of the grill grid so contents heat through and tortillas don’t burn. Serve as half-moons or cut into wedges.

Just linked my Chicken Tortilla Soup. Thanks for the chance!
Well first, I think I need a blog.. LOL. I don’t have a link for my recipe so here’s my families version of Chili.
1 large can (20+ oz) tomato sauce
1 large can (15oz)stewed tomatoes
1 large can (15oz)diced tomatoes
1 small can fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies
2 15oz cans of Bush’s Chili Beans or one really large one.
1/2 lb hamburger, browned / drained
1/2 box macaroni elbows or shells (I use WHOLE WHEAT)
1 bag Kraft Shredded Cheddar with Phily Cream Cheese inside
2 TBSP of Chili Powder (the darker the better)
1 TBSP of CUMIN
package of Chili Seasoning
Black pepper (to taste)
Tupperware Microwavable Colander (here’s a link for it! AMAZING product!!
1) put hamburger into colander and microwave on high for 4 mins…. remove from microwave, seperate the hamburger using a potato masher and continue microwaving until done. I do not brown hamburger in a skillet and drain. There’s WAy to much fat if you do. The tupperware colander is AMAZING as all the juices drain from the meat and lowers the fat content of your foot. Trust me, your stomach will thank yoU! 🙂
2) while hamburger is browning, combine the rest of the ingredients (EXCEPT CHEESE) into large pot.
3) When hamburger is done (no red) transfer to pot of tomato sauce.
4) heat to boiling. When boiling, reduce to simmer for 2 – 3 hours. At this point you can add onions if you wish, green peppers, canned corn.. i’ve changed up ingredients depending on what I have in the pantry.
5) Meanwhile, get water boiling and cook macaroni elbows by package directions.
6) When done, put a scoop of noodle in bowl (or not) and add Chili. Top with as much cheese as you want.
ENJOY!!!
