My brother made a chili with his favorite goodies in it. He made way too much, so shared it with us. My husband felt like a lunatic walking to my brother’s condo with an empty pot, but is home with it now filled to the brim. It’s simmering away on my stove top right now.
I will serve it over mashed potatoes, and top it with chopped sweet onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. It’s spicy and just hot enough for our tastes.
It doesn’t matter how hot or how cold the weather is to enjoy my brother’s awesome chili!
I was going to prepare what we had at a French restaurant as shown in my photo. But now I’m not!

I have your recipe jotted down! Thank you!
I usually make Cincinnati Chili. AKA: chili on a bed of spaghetti. Maybe I could combine the two recipes. However, the recipes combined might be a zillion calories!
Anyway, thanks again!

@Spontaneo I love gnocchi, but never made my own. Stop giving me ideas! I'll be cooped up in the kitchen forever!

@DianneN Ha, oh well. I am supposed to be weighing in on Wednesday, but I will be surpised if I lose any due to the fried chicken and the (low cal) 
lasagna..Oh and I made 2 point bagels, and thought it made 4 when it was supposed to be 8..Naturally I ate the larger bagel...

I was too embarrassed to walk over to my brother’s condo with a pot with a lid on it.
It was delicious, but we ate too much. My belly is going to explode!
You are more then welcome to come over any time, for dinner or anything! Just give me a heads up.

Now you got me thinking about fixing some chili as the temps in this part of the state is quite chilly with the high for tomorrow going to e 49 (which is brrr for me). Just going to have to brae the chilly temps to walk across the road for a couple cans of diced tomatoes (already have the paste and veggies) and beans.

I'm more interested in what is in the picture.
Maybe a steak with a jus and asparagus , fried egg or a bit messy poached egg,then a sort of a bruschetta with a herby top and then I'm lost
I'd eat it whatever it is but would love to know what it actually is

@Mike197602 The potato bottom was cut off so it stood up. Sour cream, butter, chives, etc. were provided for the baked potato. The bread was there for decoration. I didn't even taste it, because we had hard crusty rolls earlier and a lobster appetizer.
Hope this helps you!

@DianneN I did think potato but I was going to go for mashed and formed...never would have guessed baked and squeezed and wouldn't have got the onion.
I get that combo but the bread I personally wouldn't have added...protein and carbs are mixed well but the bread is a carb too far in my opinion.
I'm no food critic just currently doing research as I'm trying to move to a starred kitchen and that's a big deal for me so I'm looking at everything food related everywhere!!!!

The weather or temperatures never affect what we eat. My husband has grilled on our deck in Connecticut during snowstorms. lol. We had hot homemade chicken soup last week.
You wouldn't like my brother's chili. It has lots of hot peppers in it.
I used to freeze lots of food in containers and baggies. I still have several meatball meals and bowls of chicken soup in the freezer. It's the smart thing to do when you spend so much time cooking.

@JohnRoberts That's the one!
I hate to say this, but my husband does the dishes for me. I just complain that I may ruin my manicure and he jumps up to wash and scrub, even though we have a dishwasher.
