- Chili meat is a little bigger of a grind than regular ground beef and was $0.69/lb less so I cut the corner.
Hmm, interesting. I'll look for it next time. Looks like it cooked up OK.
- I know that isn't smoked sausage, the smoked stuff was $4.99 and that package was $2.99, so I again cut the corner. Kinda a pain to cut up, but it only took a few minutes.
I *thought* it was $2.99, that's why I got it the first time too. :laugh: But apparently it's not if you don't have a stop n shop card, which is something I've been meaning to get.
- I used the sauce like you recommended, I grabbed the paste 'cause Adam mentioned that it was a good way to thicken it up. At $0.30/can I wasn't going to skip it. I think paste is a little thicker and has less water, I'll let you know if I open one.
Gotcha, see above in response to Anthony's post. And it's definitely a good bargain.
- I've got a Christmas/gag gift party tonight so the cooker is on high right now. Hopefully it'll be done in time.
The first batch I did *might* have gotten 5 hours on high, probably less. 4 should be OK, the veggies might just be a little crunchy. I literally drove to the party with the cooker on the center console of my truck plugged into an inverter.
