This chili recipe is A huge family favorite. Sweet flavor from the baked beans and Heat from the ground beef! I brought this to the Ormond Family reunion last weekend and I heard “this chili is AWESOME” multiple times! People were having it on their hamburgers and hot dogs and some just had a big bowl with some tortilla chips! This makes a BIG batch. It will feed the Ormond’s, a small army or your local fire department! No matter who gets this they will love it!

I am a little excited about this recipe because I think it has endless possibilities! We love the flavor of my spicy baked egg rolls that I make. But there are times that I may not have the egg roll wrappers on hand or I just don’t have the time to roll them all. Lets face it we are all busy and some nights we are doing all we can do to just get dinner on the table! Mr. MCYM and I both agreed this would be great served over white rice. Robby had two full helpings, so I think this is a winner! I can’t wait to play with this a little more, I think the combinations are endless with this. If you don’t like pork, try shrimp, don’t like sweet and sour sauce, try a soy based sauce. I have so many ideas!!!!!!
INGREDIENTS
1 roll of HOT Jimmy Dean Sausage
1 package of coleslaw mix
salt
pepper
4 ounces of your favorite sweet and sour sauce or “duck” sauce

This was a quick and easy five minute throw in the slow cooker kind of appetizer, not to mention tasty! There is a lot of sweet but the whiskey cuts through all the sweetness. I only used one pound of kielbasa but the sauce can easily accommodate two pounds!
INGREDIENTS
1 to 2 pounds of kielbasa
1/3 cup of brown sugar
10 ounce jar of apricot preserves
1/2 cup real maple syrup
3 Tablespoons of whiskey
DIRECTIONS
Mix all ingredients except kielbasa in a bowl. Slice kielbasa in to 1 inch rounds and place in the slow cooker. Pour the sauce ingredients over the kielbasa and mix to coat all of the kielbasa. Cook on low for 4 hours and serve.

This is hands down delicious and is a new family favorite! I made this the simple way with pre-made seasoning, and our favorite jar of Alfredo sauce. You could certainly make this with your own seasoning blend and your own Alfredo but I wanted an easy dinner and not only was it easy it was oohhhh soooo gooood!!! TRY IT . I know you will love it!
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup of olive oil
1/4 cup of blackening seasoning (found in your spice aisle)
1 (15 ounce) of your favorite Alfredo sauce
1 (12 ounce) package of dried fettuccine
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
DIRECTIONS
First thing in the morning combine the olive oil and the seasoning, mixing well. Pour into a ziploc bag and add the chicken. Let marinade in the fridge all day. When you are ready to cook, take the chicken out of the bag and discard marinade. Cook chicken in skillet over medium high heat for about 5 minutes per side depending on the size of the chicken. When the chicken is cooked through take off of the heat, let rest and slice diagonally. Heat Alfredo sauce over low heat until warmed through. Cook Fettuccine until al dante. Mix pasta and sauce and add the chicken on top!
