Pepperoni Pizza Chili

My husband doesn't get involved in the kitchen too much, but when I asked if he had a blow torch I could borrow he didn't hesitate to offer his services!

To make this dish all you do is prepare your chili as you normally would. Then add lots of pepperoni. When it's through cooking top it with cheese and some more pepperoni. I usually put my pot in the oven and turn the broiler on to brown the cheese. But this time my pot was too large for my oven, so that was the reason for the blow torch.

And the boys got to cook in the kitchen! Now if I can only get them to do dishes............

The Kitchen, My Favorite Place To Be!

I've had this deep heart shaped dish for years and never used it until this past weekend.

It made a wonderful deep dish Apple Crumb pie!
All I do is peel, core and slice my apples. put them in a pot with a little water cook until warm all the way through. I add a cup of sugar and a tsp. of apple pie spice. Thicken with corn startch and pour in my pie shell. Last but not least I sprinkle with a brown sugar topping. I used about 8 to 10 large apples for this one.

With the extra dough from the pie crust I make cinnamon sticks just like my Mama use to. All you do is roll the dough out thin and sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top. Put it in the oven @ 350 for about 12 to 15 minutes. They are yummy and they bring back wonderful memories of my Mama in the kitchen.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and put in a prepared large casserole dish. Put in the oven @ 350 for about 1 hour and 1/2 . I covered mine with tin foil and at the last 20 minutes or so I take off the foil to brown the bread crumbs.
