Today, I turn my attention to those who are freezing their butts and other body parts off around our fair nation.  My Facebook buddy and former Augusta friend, Linda Miller, posted a yummy Fajita Chili recipe to ease the pain of frozen buttitis.

Ingredients:

• Package of frozen fajita beef with spices included or Flat Skirt Steak for fajitas with added packet of fajita seasoning
• Two 15oz cans kidney beans
• Two 15oz cans black beans
• Two cans diced tomatoes
• One can ROE-TEL mild tomatoes
• 12 oz bag frozen corn
• One diced onion
• One diced green bell pepper
• 1/2 tsp (or more) Cumin
• 1 tsp (or more) Chili Powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Saute the onion and bell pepper until the onion is transparent. and add to ingredients in pot.

I bought the Flat Skirt steak and a packet of fajita seasoning at Harris Teeter as it was on sale; and the Walt-Mart is not close to me.  I cut the steak up and browned it; trimmed excess fat; diced it, and put it in the pot.  It tasted great; but the frozen option would be easier.

I cooked it in the crock pot for at least two hours on high.

It can be served with crackers or Scoops for dipping.

I added cheese as well when I served it.

Be adventurous and try different things based on your own tastes.

Above all, stay warm and enjoy a bit of comfort only a great soup recipe can provide.

Until next time…
