FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE!!! I’m sorry, did I hurt your ears when I screamed that? If you know me at all, you know that I am a football fan through and through! I am no fair weather fan, however, only cheering for my local pro team. I am a college football fan and I watch every pro game I can, no matter who is playing. Earlier this year, I won a 75″ TV. The girls drew the winning ticket and it was a great day! I got it hung in the house and started the calendar countdown to football season. I have to say, on this TV, I can see everything! So to say my football spirit has amped up is an understatement! Now, I invite people over, cook up some Slow Cooker Wazzu Chili and serve it up while willing my players to run for the touchdown at the top of my lungs! But I always have Nexium® 24HR in my cabinet to take when I might be making my WAZZU Chili!! I start a few days before so I know I won’t have the distraction the day of the game!
Now, before I share this recipe for Slow Cooker Wazzu Chili, I have to admit that eating spicy foods can lead to an uncomfortable bout of heartburn! I can not stand heartburn so, when I know I am whipping up a batch of this spicy meal, I pop a Nexium® 24HR to ward off that dreaded side effect! Just one pill a day can ward off that uncomfortable feeling that can come after dining on some of our favorite tailgating foods! *May take 1 to 4 days for full effect. Use as directed. Nexium® 24HR is the #1 Choice of Doctors and Pharmacists* for their own frequent heartburn so it is a natural choice for me! *Among PCPs and Pharmacists who use a branded OTC PPI
Now that I have my plans for my tailgating fun, including a way to stay feeling great as game after game is on, it is time to make some chili! I found this recipe a while back online and loved it! After making it the first time, however, I had to add some modifications that made it more like I prefer. The first element of change? Making it in the slow cooker. While the original recipe calls for it to be created in a large skillet and refrigerated over night, I prefer the slow cooked warming effects that also sends amazing aromas through my kitchen!
This recipe is not for the faint of heart, however. Made as originally intended, it is a spicy kick in the tongue that we all love at tailgate time! But you can tone it down for kids or if you are not a big spice fan. That is the great thing about Slow Cooker Wazzu Chili. You can make it according to your taste with minor modifications!
