Buffalo Dump Chili

Buffalo Dump Chili by Patti Fisher

Buffalo Dump Chili because we’ve been in the mood for great Chili. So, I thought I would make a dump chili using buffalo chunks that we slow smoked in Mesquite. This would be an awesome camping or tailgating recipe, too. I have been making chili for 35 years now with little or no measuring so guess you could call it a dump Chili.…

Bobby Lovera's Easy Beef Brisket Barolo by Bobby Lovera

Easy Beef Brisket saturated with Barolo wine and a hint of Black Truffles baked in the oven. Falling apart tender with my secret sauce.
