If you love football, easy tailgate parties, and spicy food get ready for “Tailgreatness”.  I’ve got an easy Crock Pot Chili recipe that’s made with ground brisket and a man pleasin main dish for the big game day.  We’ll be rooting for the home team while chowing down on a build your own Corn Chip Chili Pie.  Don’t fret if the thought of it gives you heartburn, Nexium® 24HR  is available to help out.

When our fans arrive they’ll be greeted with some fun appetizers like my Oven Fried Pickles, stuffed jalapeños and salami/cheese/tomato kabobs.  As soon as everyone arrives they can head to the “Build Your Own Corn Chip Chili Pie” bar. I started the chili earlier in the day.  Using a crock pot allows the chili to slow cook and the flavors to marry.  The added benefit is piping hot chili ready and waiting. Setting up a bar with all the topping choices gives everyone the option of adding plenty of their favorites.  There’s chocolate for dessert because it goes so well with chili and EVERYBODY likes chocolate in this house.

I personally love a lot of cheese and plenty of sour cream.  Our son and his wife are big jalapeño lovers.  What ever your choices you may suffer as I do from frequent heartburn.  Don’t worry, don’t get sidelined by frequent heartburn.  By taking just one Nexium® 24HR pill a day several days before game day you can prepare for the great day.  

Making Crock Pot Chili

1.  Two or three hours in advance of the party start the chili.  I used course ground brisket I found in the meat section at Walmart but you can use ground beef or turkey.  Brown the meat in a heavy skillet with the onion and bell pepper then drain the fat using a colander.

2.  Turn the crock pot on high.  Spray your crock pot with oil then transfer the meat mixture into it.

3.  Now dump the rest of the ingredients in and stir it together.  Give it about 30 minutes to get good and hot then turn the cock pot down to a low simmer.  It shouldn’t continue to bubble but retain a steamy temperature for the next few hours until the party.  I love cooking it this way because of the ease.  You could eat the chili right away but allowing it to simmer a couple of hours really brings out the flavors.  Be sure to taste it before serving and add salt and black pepper if it needs it.

Setting up for “Tailgreatness”

Bonus Tip:  I use a folding table I purchased at Walmart for tail gate buffets.  It is set up in the TV viewing room so the food and drinks are handy and no one misses a crucial football play.  You will find it a lot less stressful if you use sturdy disposable dishes when it comes to clean up time.  Even inexpensive plastic table covers are one less headache.
