Roasted Jalapeno Poppers

Ingredients

12 large jalapeno peppers 2 ounces feta cheese 4 ounces cream cheese, at room

temperature 4 ounces shredded smoked pepper Jack

cheese, or other hot pepper cheese, or extra-sharp Cheddar

A small handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped 2 tablespoons grated onion

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. 2. Cut 1/3 of each pepper off lengthwise and

scoop out the seeds. Place on a baking sheet. If peppers do not sit flat on the baking sheet, slice a thin piece off the bottom of the pepper so it will not roll around.

3. Mash the feta, cream cheese, shredded cheese, cilantro, and onion together and stuff the peppers with the mixture. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is brown at the edges and bubbly.

The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance or 9/11 Day is a federally-recognized day of unity and charitable service, annually observed throughout the United States and in other countries around the world on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Game Day Chili Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 3 pounds ground meat (any combination of

ground beef chuck, pork shoulder or veal shoulder)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 large onions, chopped 2 bunches scallions, chopped (about 2 cups) 2 tablespoons tomato paste 6 tablespoons chili powder One 12-ounce bottle dark beer, such as Dos

Equis Two 28-ounce cans whole fire-roasted

tomatoes, crushed by hand 2 cups chicken stock 2 tablespoons red hot sauce, such as

Tabasco 2 tablespoons green hot sauce, such as

Tabasco Suggested toppings: 1 cup lightly whipped and chilled creme fraiche, sliced jalapenos, fresh cilantro leaves, diced tomatoes, sliced cherry peppers, shredded Monterey Jack and shredded Cheddar Directions

1. In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the ground meat. Cook and stir occasionally until browned all over and you can hear a slight crackling in the pan, letting you know the moisture has cooked away about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, onions and half of the scallions and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Make a space in the pan and drop in the tomato paste. Let toast for 1 minute and then stir into the meat. Sprinkle on the chili powder. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

3. Pour in the beer and cook until almost reduced away about 4 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and stock and season with the red and green hot sauce. Adjust the heat so the chili is gently simmering and cook, uncovered, until the chili is thick, dark red and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Serve in bowls with the remaining scallions and suggested toppings.
