Welcome to the To Grandma’s House We Go Link Party #209. Its that time of the year again and I just HAD to make chili. Fortunately Lodi loved my Minnesota chili ๐ I call it that because I’ve spent enough time in southern states to know that its basically unrecognizable to their own form of chili! Here’s the recipe: 1lb ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper, 1 can hot chili beans, 1 can navy beans (rinsed), 1 can tomato sauce and 1 can chopped tomatoes. I always brown and caramelize the first three ingredients first together before adding the tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes. Then I simmer that for a good half hour before adding the beans so they don’t get mushy. Its perfect with grilled cheese and for a cold fall day! I add garlic salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin and red pepper to give it more of a kick too! What are your staple fall recipes?

Tips to get featured: Have an Instagram account! (I love being able to tag the blogger on Instagram when I feature them.) And images really are everything, having great eye catching images is another trick to getting featured!
I’m sad to say that link parties are becoming a thing of the past…
Lots of bloggers have stopped hosting and stopped joining as they aren’t seeing benefit to their SEO or traffic numbers.
How do I feel about this? I would really miss you guys! I’ve been hosting this party for over 200 weeks so, for now, as long as you guys keep sharing, I do plan on keeping the party going. (If you’re interested in being a cohost with me feel free to mention it in the comments and I’ll get back to you!)

Thanks for a great party Tarah! I hope you have a great week.
Thanks Chas you too!!
Fall is not my favorite season BUT the chili part of fall certainly is! Nothing better than a hot bowl of chili right from the crockpot and a fresh baked apple pie for dessert. Dang, now I’m hungry. LOL Thanks for hosting and hope your week has been a good one so far!
Sounds wonderful Marie I don’t remember the last time I had a homemade apple pie! YUM!
thank you so much for featuring my funeral potatoes! made my day!
They look incredible Kim, thanks for sharing with us!
Your chili is basically exactly the same as the recipe I had growing up in MN and still make to this day. Luckily my husband grew up in Wisconsin so that’s what he likes too. I imagine it’s a midwest thing. You should see the crazy stuff they call chili here in Arizona. Some of it’s good (and hot – they use hot peppers) but it’ll never be chili to me. I can’t wait til it finally gets cold here. Nothing like a bowl of chili on a cold day!
Good to hear we’re not the only ones that love midwest chili!
Tarahlynn, I am so honoured that you chose to feature my Late Summer Apple Themed Tablescape at your lovely party! Thank you very much!

Thank you for all your efforts in keeping this gathering of inspiration going! ~ Lori

I’m glad you like your barn as is. I think it looks very cool. Every time I go on a country drive, I fall in love with all the ruined barns I see. They all tell a story and look amazing. You got some fantastic photos. As always, thanks for hosting this lovely party!
