Join the discussionI was so excited to try this, but was fearful that with so much jalapeno in it, it would be too spicy for me. I followed the directions just as they are, and it was FANTASTIC! This recipe will be a keeper in my recipe book! Thank you!
Yipee Traci – We love to hear about your meal successes! Thanks for sharing!
I am a little confused by some of the measurements for the recipe. They do not align with the conversion chart or with my own math abilities using standard US measurements. Are all recipes for the OAMC recipes written with these unusual measures or did I just chose to look at a ‘weird’ one?
Hi Ally! Sorry for the confusion. Not all of the recipes are this unusual but if you are using our documents for custom servings sizes, they can be. When in doubt, don’t over think it and let the chart help you. For example, the .4375 cups of cooked and chopped bacon is just under 1/2 cup. If you use 1/2 cup, it won’t hurt anything if that’s easier for you. The reasoning behind that weird measurement is the total amount of bacon used is 1/2 pound. Once cooked and chopped, it equates to 0.875 cups. This link might help some too- https://onceamonthmeals.com/sli…. Hope that helps!
Hi!Love this meal 🙂 I was wondering if it could be assembled and frozen and then pulled out and dumped into a crock pot the day you want to eat it? I’m new to this whole freezing thing so I’m not sure if all of the ingredients would freeze ok?Thanks!
Hi Val! You could definitely assemble then freeze but I would leave the cream cheese and bacon #1 out of the bag. And obviously leave the serving day toppings out of the bag as well. Enjoy!
I am making this today and am excited to try it. I have to agree with the above comment about the measurements. I’m kind of just guessing. Normally it’s listen in 1/2 cup, 2/3 tsp ect. I am having to google how much 0.125 tsp of salt is! Would be great if it was listed in normal measurements.
Oh you are going to love this chili! The aroma is mouth watering as it cooks! In order to make our menu system work for calculating the number of servings for your family, we have to use decimal measurement instead of fractions. On the bottom of each recipe there is a handy conversion chart for reference.
