Italian Style Bread Crumbs

Becky posted a recipe Parmesan Chicken and it calls for Italian Style Bread Crumbs but I didn't have any so I found this recipe on cdkitchen.

1 cup plain bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon sugar

dash dried oregano

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend thoroughly.  Store in covered container.

Grandma Birrell's Chili

It's 3:30 in the afternoon and the sun is shining but with the windchill it is 22 degrees, BRRRRR!!!  This caused me to think that I needed a pot of chili and cornbread for dinner.  I remembered that I had Grandma Birrell's chili recipe.  The beans are never cooked with the chili and this is supposed to not cause as much...humph, how to I put this delicately, oh heck, GAS.

4 pounds ground beef - Chad don't have a cow, I didn't use this much

1 large onion

1 teaspoon salt - I omitted this

1 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic salt

2 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons oregano

2 can tomatoes - My family doesn't like chunk tomatoes so I ran them through the blender first

2 cups water

1 can kidney beans

Brown ground beef, onion and salt.  Drain off grease then stir in remaining ingredients.  Simmer 1 hour.  Heat kidney beans in separate pan.  Serve separate so each person can mix to their own liking.
