Cooler Weather Chili

The fine cornmeal is used to thicken the chili and the bacon adds a
smoky flavor to this bean-based chili. You can also serve lime wedges
on the side for an extra bit of garnish flair
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 finely chopped garlic cloves
• 2 piece of bacon cut crosswise into pieces
• 2 tablespoons of chili powder
• 2 cans of cannelloni, pinto or red kidney beans
• 1 ½ teaspoons of dried crushed oregano
• 1 ½ teaspoons of paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper
• 3 cups of water
• Coarse salt
• 3/4 cup of Fleur de la Terre cheese
• 2 tablespoons of fine cornmeal
• 1 ½ cups of chopped winter squash or zucchini
• 1 ½ cups of frozen or fresh kernel corn (whole)

Directions:
Begin by cooking the bacon in a chili pot over medium heat until
browning happens. Add the onion, garlic, paprika, pepper,
oregano, beans and salt into the chili pot. Stir this mixture
occasionally for about 10-15 minutes. It's good to mash up the beans
a bit.

Mix the fine cornmeal with water, corn, squash or zucchini and bring
the pot to boil. Begin to reduce the heat and keep stirring until the
chili become thick and the veggies are softer. If you find that your
chili is a bit dry you can add water to make it most again as well as
many spices to jazz it up! Start serving your winter chili and dress
up each bowl with some cheese.  Add some freshly baked cornbread, and
your meal is complete!
