  • Chili... Part 2

    My chili from http://www.smoked-meat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6283 was made with the intent of leftovers to be used in the manner described below.

    Shepherds Pie! Not a traditional version but an excellent version none the less.
    After the chili sat for a day (Doesn't it always taste better the next day?) I covered the bottom of a baking dish with a thick layer of the chili.



    To it I added mashed Sweet Potatoes to completely cover the chili. The Sweet potatoes (5) were just boiled till tender, then mashed with a 1/2 stick of butter and a good splash of butter milk. A sprinkling of shredded Cheddar was added as well.


    I baked at 350 for @45 minutes till I noticed some bubbling from the chili and the cheese was all melted. Then I turned the heat to 400 for 10-15 minutes till that bubbling was rapid. I finished the cooking with the broiler to get that nice golden brown crunchy cheesy topping.



    This was a very satisfying bowl of Shepherds Pie on a very cold Florida night. With it I served a Sam Adams Imperial Stout and dessert was a wonderful hot chocolate with a healthy splash of Irish Cream.

        Trust me when I say it worked out incredibly! The scent the cinnamon added to the chili went very well with the sweet potatoes.

                I like sweet potatoes, but still not convinced of the combo. Guess I'd have to taste it. Sure looks fantastic. And shephards pie is great for leftovers.

                Cinnamon is great stuff, put a pinch or two in your spaghetti sauce once. It cuts the acidity of the tomatoes without adding sugar. The aroma is an added bonus.
