Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie

As an adolescent I was commissioned by my dad to make a huge pot of chili for his tavern weekly, and I earned fifty cents a batch doing so!

Ham (or Bacon) and Bean Chowder. by A.L. Wiebe

My version of this hearty, soup, loaded with navy beans and vegetables. I like plenty of stock to boil the beans in, so they don't scorch so easily, and the stock generally reduces with the brisk simmering. I make a roux to thicken the chowder a bit, but you can certainly skip this step if you prefer, just start with less stock.…
