This spicy crockpot chili recipe is JUST FOR GUYS (jk it's for everyone)

[@cooking_the_books]

What will you be making this Crocktober?

[@christinajohnson6543]

I wad smack dab in the middle of women's lib in the mid 70's. Male chauvinism was a hot topic back then. ✌️

[@m.m.i.9586]

The title is hilarious! 😆This chili could even satisfy a cranky prejudiced 70s guy, eh? 🤣

[@cooking_the_books]

With a name like that, I just had to make it!

[@cookingwithsherry]

I was gonna cry cuz I couldn’t have any! My first crock pot was a rival I was going through an old trunk of my late husbands and I found a crisco cookbook 1913 I was so excited! Sounds good

Looks delish!

[@rivards1]

Based on the name and date, I wonder if it's something Bobby Riggs had published somewhere, and Rival just didn't want to use his name?

[@stillsimplystephanie]

Love the name of this 😂 That looks like an interesting cook book, anytime I think about crockpot being a brand and not the name of all slow cookers I just end up thinking about the crockpot on This is Us.

[@cooking_the_books]

Ok so I don't watch This Is Us, but I do remember hearing something about a crockpot and a fire and sad plot points. 😂

[@lindsayconley7617]

For real, after that episode aired, some people threw out their Crock Pots. Probably old models like what was in the show, but still.

[@kimfrank7535]

Love your videos. The Jenny Joes and Taverns recipes remind me of my grandmothers recipes for what we know as sloppy joes. Pretty bland by today's standards. As for the braised celery, realize that in Victorian times celery was an expensive special treat. Special dishes were made just to hold it. This recipe is probably a hold over.

[@cooking_the_books]

Oh that makes sense! The recipe I use for sloppy joes is definitely more heavily sauced. I don't think I would have been cut out for fancy Victorian life if I had to be delighted by celery. 😂

[@anthonydolio8118]

Looks good. Thank you.

My vote goes for more "berserk" in contemporary recipes. Okay, honestly Anna, in the game of video titling, you are 100% winning. I laugh sometimes just thinking about them well after the fact. The stale potato chip revival trick is utterly bonkers! I'd almost get a crock pot just for that feature, if it worked! (I'm chip and cracker obsessed, FYI.) Well who wouldn't like a zesty chili? I wouldn't have thought of bacon in there either, necessarily, but actually sounds like this one turned out alright... despite its awkward title. Thanks for this great one Anna!

[@cooking_the_books]

Ok thank you for making me feel better about my title(s). It's pretty much how I talk IRL and I'm trying to lean into it! 😄 I'm just about ready to leave out an open bag of chips for a couple of days and let them go stale just to see if the crisping trick actually works.

Condensed Gumbp soup is still available in most grocery stores. Growing up, my friend’s moms made their sloppy joes this way. Not my mom, however I sometimes I make it that way as my husband doesn’t like BBQ flavor.

[@laurensawyer330]

The title had me curious lol! It looks really good!

Irish Lamb Stew. Love this chili. It's funny but with old favourites a feel myself cooking alongside you , tasting all the ingredients - super tasty version of this Texan classic.

[@cooking_the_books]

I love to hear that. Thank you! This turned out really well.

[@annmartino980]

My cousin used to make a sloppy jo with the creole soup in it. But she called it sloppy jo not jenny jo. It was so long ago that I ate it but I remember it being good

[@EverythingShakes]

Awesome 😎

For some reason, I thought that this was a Peg Bracken recipe. Have you ever found any of her cookbooks while thrifting?

I have The I Hate to Cook Book and plan to use it in a video in the future. 😊

[@JustinasCountryKitchen]

Awesome book, I picked on up one a while back also. But it said crockery cooker and slow cooker. Didn't really reference crock pot I just love the vintage cookbooks.

[@cooking_the_books]

When I see a vintage slow cooker cookbook, I grab it up immediately. There aren't many in my collection. I absolutely love using a slow cooker, especially at this time of year.

[@MimiDishes]

I laugh so hard about the title..good looking chili..thanks🤗🍜

[@cooking_the_books]

Glad you enjoyed! The chili turned out pretty darned good, and freezes beautifully.

[@lindsayconley7617]

I ate it and it was really good! Not super zesty, but it could have mellowed a little over the couple days in the fridge. Would recommend.

[@sjs9354]

Italian tomato’s are usually referring to the type of tomato. Plum tomatoes or Roma. A firm meaty not so juicy tomato.

I like hot Italian sausage and I like bacon, but not in chili. I guess I'm not chauvinistic enough. ;-)

[@catalinatreats]

Looks pretty good! I want to tey the potato chip revival thing

[@cooking_the_books]

Me, too! I'm thinking of leaving a bag of chips out just so they'll get stale and then I can try it. 😂

[@marklutker9720]

Have a question for you. As I have heard some of the cooks today have never tried some of the recipes in their cookbooks. Basically ingredients they assume would go well together. Also needing a certain amount of recipes for contracts for publishing. Are you aware, did you hear or know of any of this kind of habit happening in cookbooks you have reviewed (Not talking group/organisation cookbooks where the persons name is listed etc)? Or was one company known for doing this practice? I have just wondered because some of the ingredients I have seen in some of the old cookbooks I have, I just cannot see how some would be edible.

[@steverino474]

Oooh make jenny joes...perhaps with cream of chicken instead? Love your channel.

[@cooking_the_books]

ooh that could be really good! Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. ♥

[@eathomelive]

Condensed chicken gumbo soup is still being made for some reason. Lol.

[@ebgbjo2025]

Taverns are still a popular lunch (called dinner here) meal made at many small town bars/cafes. I prefer them over sloppy Joe's, which are more on the sweeter side than taverns. If you enjoy sloppy Joe's, I highly recommend trying the tavern recipe.

[@cooking_the_books]

I will have to give them a try! Sloppy joes can sometimes get a little sweet for me. I tend to add a little more vinegar to the recipe I usually use.

Edible😹 I've made a version of chili/goulash with sausage. It actually works very well.All soups taste better the next day🥰

[@cooking_the_books]

The sausage definitely did a lot of the heavy lifting in this dish as far as seasoning goes! I would make this again, but would like to try it with smoked sausage next time.

[@brendakrieger7000]

@@cooking_the_books Smoked sausage or kielbasa sounds great!

[@limeparticle]

It’s a male chauvinist chili because it has pig (bacon, sausage) in it. (Commenting halfway through the video without waiting to see if you ended up in the same place, but it seems obvious to me lol)

[@realong2506]

My mother in law used to make the Jennie Jos and they where terrible. Made me nauseuos but I was also pregnant at the time. Do not recomend.

Looks delicious, but I'm not fond of hot spice🔥🫑 Lol, I try to say slow cooker😂 AH yeah, nothing like the smell of sausage, peppers and onions🫑💚

I am so curious about the 2 teardrop shaped wall hangings behind you when you're discussing your books. Are those vintage or can those be purchased new? You may or may not see this, I'm okay with that --- but I really like them.

[@cooking_the_books]

Those are vintage pebble art pieces. I picked them up years ago, but sometimes the same ones pop up on Ebay!
