    I looked my mother in the eyes after a long day once and responded to a similar statement with “No, I hated your chilli when I was a kid.”

    She really does make the absolute worst chilli I’ve ever tasted. It’s so bland. There is almost no chilli powder in it, just some salt and a little bit of pre-ground pepper from a packaged salt/pepper shaker. The recipe amounts to “throw some hamburger and tomato sauce with canned beans in a pot and cook it for an hour and then add random amounts of all THREE seasonings”

    It’s a wonder I survived to be able to cook on my own.

      Ahhh the Midwest classic of I don’t need recipes I just throw impossibly small amounts of seasoning in despite there being literal pounds of vegetables and ground meat in it.

      Don’t forget to cook your venison through with only a little butter so you don’t get sick! A fucking alligator couldn’t bite through that shit.
