Tonight was copy cat recipe night in the apartment. After going to see The Lorax, Jennifer and Jannette whipped up 2 things they love eating at Sweet Tomatoes and located recipes online for: Deep Kettle House chili and Grilled Cheese Focaccia Dippers!

Quite yummy - not exactly right, but extremely close (thanks to this site: http://coffincm1972.xomba.com/deep_kettle_house_chili_recipe) - especially the dippers... cheesey goodness!!!

Here's the recipe for the Deep Kettle House Chili:

Ingredients:

1-2 16 oz. cans Dark Red Kidney Beans 

2 16 oz. cans stewed tomatoes with liquid

1 Small Stalk of Celery 

2 Mince garlic cloves

2 Tsp Salt 

1 Tbsp Pepper 

2 lbs Ground Hamburger or Turkey Meat

1 Bell Pepper (Green) 

1 Onion (Yellow or White)
