ANDY'S ALL MEAT CHILI

Steps:

• Remove any casings from sausages, crumble meat into a large, deep, pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often until lightly browned. To pot add ground turkey, beef, and pork. Mix together and crumble meat until it begins to brown.
• To browned meat add onion, bell pepper, and pablano pepper. Continue to cook over medium-high heat until onion is soft.
• Add all other ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for about an hour.
• Don't forget to occasionally stir, so it doesn't burn!
• Uncover and cook over medium-low heat until liquid starts to evaporate (about 30 minutes), continue to stir so it doesn't burn.
• Remove pot from heat and let cool about 15-20 minutes.
• Return to burner and heat throughly.
• Repeat the last 2 steps as needed until chili is thick.
• Serve with crackers.
• Leftovers can be easily frozen in a ziplock freezer bag or Tupperware.

SWEET CHILE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To a small saucepan, add water, vinegar, and sugar; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, roughly slice chiles and garlic. Place in a food processor with salt and pulse to a rough chop; add to the pot. Turn heat to low to maintain a steady simmer and cook, uncovered, until the liquid thickens slightly and becomes just slightly syrupy, 8-12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. The sauce will thicken further as it cools. Makes ¾ cup. You can store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container for months; the flavor improves as the ingredients continue to meld.

ANDY'S SPICY GREEN CHILE PORK

Steps:

• Layer the chopped onion into the bottom of a slow cooker. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper; place atop the chopped onion. Pour the green salsa over the pork. Sprinkle the the cilantro over the salsa and pork. Drop the serrano chile peppers into the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until the meat falls apart easily, about 8 hours. Gently remove the pork to a cutting board. Strain and discard about half the remaining liquid from the slow cooker, reserving the rest. Discard the onions, peppers, and cilantro if desired.
• Shred the pork shoulder with a pair of forks. Mix the pork with the reserved liquid from the slow cooker to serve.
