| CHICAGO FOOTBALL CHILI |
Chicago Bears Papa Bear Porridge Chili Happy New Year! A new year is a great time for reflection, and we’re reflecting on nearly 90 years of Chicago Bears football by paying tribute to Papa Bear himself - George Halas. The A.E. Staley Manufacturing Company hired George Halas to run their company football team in 1921 and the rest, as they say, is history. The Staley Company made food products and was famous for their pancake syrup. This chili takes a page from THEIR playbook and pairs lots of downstate Midwestern goodness with a little maply sweet and a touch of heat. We think you'll find it just right! -- CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE -- |
Detroit Lions Chipotle Buffalo Edsel Chili First things first: the Edsel wasn't a bad car - it was just a victim of hype. Ford built it up so big that by the time it was released to the public, the people were a bit oversaturated. Fast forward to the 2000s, where every new food item is Chipotle this or Buffalo that (congrats to the Chex Mix recipe contest winner and their Buffalo Chex Mix, by the way). You've seen each done over and over. But, have you ever seen them together? Well now you have, and it's about time! This week's chili pays tribute to hype, and proves that just because you see it a lot, doesn't mean that you can't still be pleasantly surprised! -- CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE -- |

| In the meantime, enjoy the playoffs and the Super Bowl as much as you can knowing that there are no Bears in it. It will be difficult, I know. |
