Better Than Mom's ChiliH from Nick Orsen, son Brooklyn Park, Minnesota Brown about a pound of hamburger and drain. Brown some other meat (pork or Italian sausage). Set aside. Dice as much onion as you want. Dice as much green pepper as you want. Dice as much as you want of yellow and/or red pepper. Chop up some mushrooms. Chop up a jalapeno (remove seeds, depending on taste). Add a can of chili beans. Add a jar of mother-in-law's stewed tomatoes. (Don't tell your mom you use this. If mother-in-law does not stew tomatoes, buy a can of stewed tomatoes. I sometimes use both.) Add a big can of tomato juice. Add a secret ingredient from Mom (packet of McCormick chili seasoning) Put all in big pot. Bring to boil, then simmer for a while. Have a beer or wine and wait. While you wait, add some salt and pepper that you forgot. Add some white sugar or brown sugar to add some sweetness. Add additional chili powder until you think it's perfect. Writes Nick, "Leftovers the next day seem to taste even better."
LefseH from Krystal Lindquist, niece Litchfield, Minnesota 3 cups day old Mashed Potatoes (not instant), mashed with milk and butter (I use heavy cream and some sour cream too), makes it a little yummier. Add: 1 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups flour Mix all together. Roll into balls the size of golf balls. If you have a lefse pan, it is better but I don't so I just use a flat frying pan. Note: After making lefse, my kitchen looks just as white as it does outside on a snowy day. Put a pile of flour on the counter. Place ball on pile of flour and roll out balls with a rolling pin. Have frying pan on stove ready ... really hot, almost on high. Shake off excess flour on lefse before placing in pan. Use metal spatula to scrape lefse off counter and put in frying pan. It takes less than 1 minute in frying pan. Flip over. Brown on both sides. When done, place paper towel on counter and put lefse on paper towel. Then place another paper towel on top of lefse. Stack as they are made. (It takes some practice. After each lefse is made, I have to scrape the remaining flour out of the pan into the sink. Otherwise it will burn and stink.) Writes Krystal, "Hi, Auntie Sue. This is a good lefse recipe. I remember having lefse at Grandma's when I was little. It's always a favorite of mine."
