Preparation time 2 hours 30 minutes
2 Tbls Vegetable oil
2 cups Yellow onion, chopped
3 Tbls Garlic, minced
1 lbs. Top Sirloin, trimmed of fat, ¼ inch dice
1/8 cup Chili powder
1 Tbls Cumin, ground
1 tsp Black pepper, fresh ground

In a medium sauce pan, heat the oil over medium low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften.
Add the sirloin, raise the heat to medium high heat, and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin and pepper and cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and their juice, beans and their juice, water, tomato sauce and beef base. Stir to mix well and add the bay leaf. Stir gently.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer gently for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. Stir frequently so that the chili does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Adjust the heat up and down to maintain a slow simmer.

Potato Chips with Morton’s Bleu Cheese Dressing
Morton’s Bleu Cheese Dressing – 4 cups
Ingredients;
Heavy Mayonnaise 2 cups
Sour Cream 1 ¼ cups
Buttermilk ¼ cup
Seasoned salt ¾ tsp.
Ground black pepper ¾ tsp.
Crumbled Bleu cheese 1 cup, packed
(Light mayonnaise and low fat sour cream can be used but the dressing won’t have the richness of the original recipe)
Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, seasoned salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients with a wire whip until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Add the Bleu cheese to the mix and fold together with a spatula. (Don’t use the whip. You want large chunks of the Bleu cheese remaining. The whip will break them up too much.)
Place the dressing in a storage container and hold for 24 hours to enhance the flavor.
Buy a good quality kettle chip to dip with the dressing. Warm the chips in the oven at 350 degrees for a few minutes if possible.
Use a large serving plate or bowl. Place the dressing a smaller bowl in the center. Sprinkle the dressing with some minced chives or parsley. Arrange the chips around the dressing.
