Cheese testing

Today I had lots of extra time in my day, so I decided to try out cheese recipes for a competition I want to enter. So I made three pasta dishes and two chicken dishes that all Incorporated cheese. First I made a spinach artichoke pasta which tasted just like the dip. Then I made a spinach Alfredo sauce to go with more pasta. I also created a mac n' cheese sauce to go over more pasta. After I created all of these I topped them with the cheeses which are in the sauces and baked them for about thirty minutes. I then took six chicken breasts and cut them in half vertically,making twelve total. Then i cut them in half horizontally so that I could stuff them. In six of the chickens i stuffed with mozzarella and tomatoes. It was to die for! Then we had six other chickens that I stuffed with a Mexican cheese blend(which is a lot like monetary jack cheese)and also wrapped them in bacon. I cooked these for also thirty minutes until perfectly cooked:).

Chili!

So for dinner I made chili. First, I took three pounds of ground beef and browned it with cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper,and some tomato paste. Then I took two cans of diced tomatoes(one onion and tomato, other green chilies and tomato). Then I took a can of corn for flavor and color :), It has to look appealing!I also added some green peppers to the mix for a little heat and more color.I never drained any of the cans because then i never needed to add water to the chili. I then took a small can of tomato paste to thicken the chili and a can of tomato sauce as well. That was the base of my chili. I added lots of seasoning to flavor the chili. You can make it anyway you want it to be, i chose warm. It wasn't just normal mild chili, it had a kick after it. I added about two tablespoons of Tabasco sauce, a little chipotle mustard( I know it sounds gross but you can't taste the mustard at all!It just added a ton of heat!), salt , pepper, lots of chili powder, diced garlic,some McCormick chicken seasoning,and a secret ingredient that brought out extra flavor :) It was so good, especially with a little cheese to cool it down some. Just make sure you have a drink near by!
