Tricia's Halloween Chili

We are having a chili cook-off next week at work and I knew just the recipe to bring!

I haven't had this recipe in YEARS...but it is one that stood out to me when we visited my parent's friends before a Mizzou football game.  Tricia made it and it was SOOOOO GOOD! I can't wait to make it next week!

1 pound ground beef
2 pounds pork steak ( trimmed- cubed or chopped or ground)
2 green peppers diced
1 lg. onion
1 pound sliced mushrooms
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans black-eyed peas
1 can northern beans
3 cans diced tomatoes
3 packets chili seasoning ( 1 hot , 2 mild)  Tricia uses all mild
Brown meats, saute peppers, onions & mushrooms
Add remaining ingredients - don't drain!
simmer for 1/2 hour
Serves approx 10-12

Honey Onion Chicken

Honey Onion Chicken:

1 package chicken tenders

2 eggs

1 can french fried onions

Seasoned pepper

Salt

Honey

Preheat oven to 350.

Dip chicken tenders in egg. In a ziplock bag, crush the onions and then coat the chicken in them. Line a 9*13 with foil and spray it with non stick spray. Place the chicken in it and and then sprinkle with salt, seasoned pepper (I actually used Lawry's seasoned salt because that's all I had on hand) and drizzle it with honey.

Bake COVERED for 20 mins. Then, uncover it, drizzle with more honey and bake another 20 min's uncovered.

GREEN BEANS:

1 large can of green beans

1/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup chicken stock

Salt and Pepper

Drain green beans & put them in a pot with all of the other ingredients. Cook on medium until the brown sugar is melted and the green beans are hot.
