Chili isn't exactly a summer meal, but this one sounds delicious enough for me to forget that and savor the aroma. Especially since it promises only 1 skillet and 20 min. I'm trying it Sunday, so no haven't played around with this one yet. I don't usually like to post recipes I haven't at least attempted, but I can't quite bring myself to cook this week. Miserable weather, miserable headache, miserableness all around.
In reading this how-to I find myself gazing up at the fire alarm in my dining room. You know, the one hooked up to my alarm company...the one where they've called me only twice and always because I'm using the skillet over the stove and neglected to open a window, turn on the microwave fan, and get rid of the smoke before it reached the dining room. Just a little warning...*G*
