Homemade McChicken

M cChicken sandwich, spicy or regular, has always been a household favorite until McDonalds started adding crap to the recipe. I used to work at McDonalds when I was 16 years old, things have def changed from then to now. Season it how you wish, I just throw a bunch of spices in and call it good! Does not matter what you use.  You Will Need: Ground Chicken Garlic Powder Onion Powder Paprika  Breadcrumbs  Flour Egg Wash Mayo Buns Lettuce Tomato After you form patties, freeze for 1 to 2 hours. Once frozen, dip in flour, egg then bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown and 165 degrees temp reached inside. 

Chili

It is getting colder here in Ohio, so a nice bowl of chili sounds amazing!! I changed my dinner menu from pot roast to chili as it has been snowing on and off and is freezing. I try to make the chili more on the mild to medium ish side so the boys have a slight heat to it but us girls can stand eating it. Tonights chili was amazing! Best I have made so far. 
You Will Need:
2 lb Beef
2 Cans Tomato Sauce
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
1 Can Chili Beans
1 Can White Kidney Beans
1 6 oz Can Mushrooms
2 Chili Packets
Chili Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Garlic Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Onion Powder (to season meat while cooking)
Diced Onions (to season meat while cooking)
Salt & Pepper (to season meat while cooking)

You adjust the heat of your chili yourself, myself and my daughter likes a more mild-ish to medium-ish chili whereas my son and husband want hot hot. Be sure you taste as you cook for seasoning (salt and chili packets/spice). After I browned the seasoned beef, I added the rest of the ingredients with 1 can of water and let it simmer for an hour (the key to a GREAT chili is letting it simmer for hours. The longer the better, but I only could wait an hour while the cornbread cooked).
