Cin Chili Puffs
Recipe courtesy Cindy Wilkins

Ingredients
1 package Crescent rolls, (recommended: Pillsbury)
8 ounces Cin Chili recipe follows, chilled
2 green onions
1 jalapeno, sliced
4 ounces processed American cheese (recommended: Velveeta)

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Unroll the crescent rolls into a triangle shape. Place a 1-ounce spoonful of Cin
Chili on the center of the dough. Slice the green onions and place 2 to 3 slices

on top of the Cin Chili. Place a jalapeno slice on top of the onion. Place 1/4 of
a slice of cheese (1/2 ounce) on top of the jalapeno. Fold the dough over the
ingredients, bringing each point of the triangle into the center pinching the
sides shut. Bake until the top is a light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Cin Chili:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
1 (14-ounce) can beef broth (recommended: Swanson's)
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce (recommended: Hunt's)

Batch one:
1 tablespoon onion powder

2 tablespoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

In a large heavy bottom pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground
beef and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and drain off the
excess grease. Add the tomato sauce and the beef broth and simmer for 1 hour. Add
all of the ingredients from Batch one, stir and simmer for 35 more minutes. Add
Batch two to the pot and cook for another 20 minutes, stirring often. Add Batch
