Yes, the Old Soldier is trying something new. A few days ago I opened a large can of kidney beans, threw that in the crock pot along with tomato sauce, some browned, chopped up ground beef and a diced green pepper. Covered everything with a healthy dose of garlic power, black pepper and chili powder and then let it all cook for five hours.
It was a simple, good meal for a chilly week in October in Pittsburgh. I poured in a good dose of hot sauce and I’m going to have another bowl today as soon as I come back from Del’s Bar and Italian restaurant.

Crock Pot Chili And Writing Flash Fiction
Image via Wikipedia
It’s around 1:00 PM on a chilly, bright day in Pittsburgh and the Old Soldier is at Del’s Bar & Italian Restaurant having a couple of draft beers at the bar. Amy is behind the bar. She’s a working archeologist. She works out of the Carnegie Museum in my neighborhood of Oakland where the University of Pittsburgh is located.
The Old Soldier will leave here soon and get back to his apartment to put on a crock pot of chili con carne.
First brown the ground beef, chop it up, then throw it into the crock pot of diced green peppers, tomato sauce, cooked rice, kidney beans with plenty of chili powder, salt and pepper and a couple of small hot peppers. It will last a week.
You can’t beat it with a stick.
