When I
think about chili, I think of cold weather comfort food, Sunday
afternoon football, tailgate parties, après-ski, sledding, or skating, and
if you need a little chili recipe inspiration, Seriously Good Chili Cookbook - 177 of the Best Recipes in
the World by New York Times Best-Selling Author Brian Baumgartner is sure to inspire. For his cookbook, Brian Baumgartner,
who many know from his role as "Kevin Malone" on the NBC Emmy-winning
TV series, The Office, compiled his recipes along with contributions
from award-winning chefs, celebrity chefs, and cooks from across the country. I
was delighted when my recipe, Righteous Three-Bean Vegetarian Chili
was included in his cookbook. Bon Appetit!

by Fox Chapel Publishing Company, Inc. Seriously Good Chili
Cookbook - 177 of the Best Recipes in the World by New York Times Best-Selling
Author Brian Baumgartner is the perfect gift for all chili lovers.
After
reading Seriously Good Chili Cookbook - 177 of the Best Recipes in the
World by Brian Baumgartner I learned that there are many ways to make
chili, including Chili Con Carne (with meat), Chili Verde, White Chicken Chili,
Texas Chili, Cincinnati Chili, Turkey Chili, Vegetarian Chili, Black Bean
Chili, and many more. It seems the possibilities for chili recipes are as
endless as the imagination and creativity of the chefs behind them.
In addition
to 177 great chili recipes in the cookbook, and the history of chili with fun
facts, what I also found interesting was the inclusion of the Hot Pepper Heat
Scale, outlining the 10 levels of heat ranges and the peppers that fall into
each category. This is a great resource for learning about and distinguishing
various types of peppers and their level of heat. Fans of The Office,
will also be happy to know that "Kevin Malone's" famous chili from the
episode where he dropped it on the carpet, is included in the cookbook.
Brian
Baumgartner and Fox Chapel Publishing Company, Inc. graciously provide
permission to include two of the recipes from Seriously Good Chili
Cookbook - 177 of the Best Recipes in the World by Brian Baumgartner to
tempt your palate into trying some of the great chili recipes in the cookbook.

Shredded Cheddar Cheese, garnish

Directions: In a large pot, sauté the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and
garlic in oil over medium-high heat. I like to use grapeseed oil because it's a
little less oily. Add in the ground turkey or beef. Before the meat has
completely cooked, add the tomato paste. Finish browning the meat completely.
Stir in the
remaining ingredients, except the beans and the cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce
heat. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes (or longer until the desired
consistency is reached), stirring occasionally. Then, 20 minutes before
serving, add the beans. You can't add the beans in right away or they will get
mushy. Finish with sharp cheddar cheese. Any leftovers are easy to freeze!
