Brew and Bean Chili by Jackie Newgent

Beer’s not just for drinking anymore! It’s for stewing—or “eco-brewing.” As this chili is sans meat, the beer adds another layer of flavor. My favorite part of the recipe, though, is how fast it is to fix. My carbon footprint appreciates that and yours will, too. (Adapted from Big Green Cookbook by Jackie Newgent, RD)

I found this recipe in an old recipe book from the 1940's when I was a young bride in the early 1970's. At the time, I thought, "wow this is ancient"! lol. Well, after my disastrous first meatloaf (came out the size of a hockey puck lol), I forged ahead and gave this a try. How brave, but I finally succeeded! This has never failed…

Ground Chicken and Bean Bake by Adam Janowski

I’ve had a dish like this many times before, usually at potlucks or picnics, but this was the first time that I tried to make it with chicken instead of ground beef. It turned out so well that I think I will always do it that way. I included the red pepper just to spice it up a bit, but left it optional depending on your taste.

Layered Bean Dip by Salad Foodie

A real party-pleaser! Versions of this recipe abound but what sets this one apart from most is it is served hot from the oven, and has a layer of ground beef.
