Directions:Preheat oven to 375 degrees Place a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon, and the butter. Once the butter has melted and the pot is hot, add the ground meat. Brown it, using the back of a wooden spoon (so you don't scratch your pan) to break it up into small pieces, about 5-6 minutes. Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes. Add chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot. Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together. While the chili is simmering, spread the Fritos out on a cookie sheet. Top with the blue cheese and transfer to the oven to melt the cheese, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Dish up the chili and add chips YUMMO! |

Notes: This is the first recipe I ever made from Rachael Ray. I first downloaded the recipe, November 2007. I read that this is her most down loaded recipe ever. I love this chili and I don't know if it is my favorite thing of all time, but at least it is in the top ten. Sometimes I get a craving for this chili.
