Chili in a bowl with cheddar cheese
Obama has made this chili recipe since college and used to bring this to all his potluck parties.  I decided to give it a try and see what’s it all about.  Souce: abcnews.go.com

  • Directions: Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and brown. Combine spices together into a mixture, then add to ground meat. Add red wine vinegar. Add tomatoes and let simmer, until tomatoes cook down. Add kidney beans and cook for a few more minutes. Serve over white or brown rice. Garnish with grated cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.

Feedback: After trying the recipe, I added a few extra spices and ingredients to improve taste.  Not enough liquids and taste.  The hot pepper I added really spiked things up. Sorry Obama!
