     If we have another stint of cold weather in the next few weeks, I will make this again, I remember that the heat builds up on you but it was still very very good!

     So here's a recipe for Pirate's Bite Chili, to be served over pasta or refer to an earlier recipe post for hardtack biscuits!

Pirate's Bite Chili
by The Pirate Chef

Ingredients:
1 Tbs vegetable oil
1 LB ground pork
1 LB ground chuck
2 cups sweet onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 1/2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp Pirate's Bite Spice Blend
29 oz can of tomato puree
2 cups beef broth

Procedure:
1) Heat the oil and brown the meat in batches. Remove from heat and set aside for now.
2) Add the onions and garlic to the pot, cooking for 4 minutes on medium high or until they begin to brown. Be careful as garlic does like to burn easily.
3) Stir in the spices and cook for another 2 minutes.
4) Return the meat to the pot and stir everything together.
5) Add the tomato puree and beef broth to the pot; stir together bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour, skimming fat as needed. Adjust seasoning and add water if needed.

 This makes enough for about 4-6 people so enjoy!
