Stevens simple sweet chili

1 1/2 - 2 lbs 85% or leaner ground beef
1/2 cup chopped yellow or white onion (you can mix in some chopped red onion for variety)
1 envelope (1.75 oz) chili seasoning mix
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, undrained
1 can (15 oz) regular bean chili, any brand
1 Tablesoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Johnny's Seasoning Salt

Preparation:

Heat oil in large pot, or if you prefer to do it separately, then a fry pan and brown ground beef through. Add diced onions, and let them cook together to marry the flavors. Stir in chili seasoning mix and water. Add all canned items (DO NOT DRAIN), stir together, and now slowly add spices and sugars to taste. I vary the amount of sugar and cinnamon slightly for a sweeter chili at times, and usually just stick with 1-1 1/2 Tablespoons of Johnny's seasoning.

Stevens mouthwatering pork chops

Package of regular bone in pork chops, normal cut (I usually do 3-4 at a time to feed 2)

In a cake pan, place chops to fit
Spread a small amount of olive or vegetable oil on each
Sprinkle a combo of the following spices (usually equals about a teaspoon or tablespoon, depending on the size of your chops, of spices), in equal amounts over each one
Johnny's Seasoning Salt (bottle is a clear brown type with a yellow top and yellow writing on the label)
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Onion powder
Basil
Oregano
Rosemary
Sage (less important if you can't find it)
a dash of cinnamon

Cover pan with tinfoil and bake at 300-325 for 90 minutes. Finish off the last two minutes uncovered on broil to sear the top and bring out the flavors of the spices
