Nights are crazy at our house.  I don’t know about all of you, but my most dreaded question at the end of the day is “What’s for dinner?”  Just brainstorming what to come up with gives me a headache.  But, you know what…it doesn’t have to be that hard.  One of my favorite and easiest things to make for dinner is frito chili pie.  Everyone loves it and it’s hearty and filling.  Wolf Brand Chili heard their consumers loud and clear when they said they were craving a chili with a little more substance, so now Wolf Brand Chili is thicker and heartier than ever. Just the way we like it!  Wolf Brand Chili is bringing their famous chili to the Texas State Fair in Dallas!  We were at the Texas state fair in Dallas last weekend and let me tell ya there are a lot of Texas chili goers out there.

Wolf Brand Chili puts a true taste of Texas in every can. A Texas ranch cook and Lyman T. Davis developed the original Wolf Brand Chili recipe in 1895, and for over 100 years the Wolf Brand’s unique blend of seasonings and good hearty beef has delivered authentic chili taste. Wolf Brand Chili has always been great, and now it’s thicker and heartier, just the way Texans like it. Our frito chili pie toppings include:  cheese, fritos, sour cream, and topped with crisp green onions.  YUM.

One of my favorite soup recipes for the winter season is Spicy Sausage and Kale soup.  It’s warm, hearty, and a little bit spicy.  Last week I headed to my local Tom Thumb store and picked up some sausage links, kale, and onion, potatoes, and some other key ingredients for my soup.  Safeway stores has amazing deals with their buy 3 Save 3 on tons of products you know and love!

Ingredients

• 1 pound hot Italian sausage links (I use Hillshire Farm® Lit’l Smokies® Cocktail Links because they save time)
• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced 1/4-inch thick (I microwave until 1/2 cooked to save time)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 (14.5-ounce) cans chicken broth
• 1 quart water
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups chopped fresh kale or Swiss chard
• 1 cup heavy cream (or half/half to cut calories!)

Instructions

Start by sauteing onions in olive oil with garlic.

Cut up sausage links into bite size pieces.  I use turkey because they are less fat, and they still have a great smoky flavor in the soup.
Add kale.  It will reduce a LOT while cooking….so don’t be afraid by the enormous amount of green 🙂 While the onions, sausage, water, & chicken broth are cooking down I cut up the potatoes and cooked half way in the microwave to save cooking time.  Then add the potatoes to the soup mixture with the heavy cream.  Let simmer on low for another 15 minutes.  I season with salt and pepper add some parmesan to taste.  It’s so good!  It’s a quick, easy, filling recipe I don’t mind cooking after I get off work and can easily be prepared ahead.  It also keeps really well in the fridge.
