This recipe is an adaptation of a ground beef recipe using a Dutch oven (or skillet) to combine other ingredients with the ground beef. I’ve been looking for a dip-like recipe or a softer chili recipe, and I thought this might be worth a try.
It turned out to be relatively easy, strong on flavour and a definite keeper in one pot, even doable on a free night during the week.
I snagged the base for this recipe from a “Taste of Home Fall Baking – Fresh from the Oven” cookbook.
My first real attempt at a full baking recipe, part of a new goal for myself, so I started with what looked like an easy one. But it proved a little more challenging on the kneading and need for adjustments, plus multiple steps, so I'm going to raise it to moderate. The total time adds up with waiting for things to rise and then cook, so I'd push this to a weekend activity unless you can do a few early steps well before dinner time and then just cook at the end.
