This Italian-style chili recipe is an easy-to-make departure from your typical chili. The recipe calls for pepperoni, mushrooms, and a jar of prepared spaghetti sauce. I am asked for the recipe every time I make it.

Jollyrogers' Chilaquiles
This is a Mexican casserole that my Grandpa used to make every Thanksgiving and Christmas. The smell alone makes me feel like I am six years old and waiting for dinner to start. This recipe has been handed down from my Grandpa to my dad to me. The original recipe did not call for teaspoons or tablespoons, but with ounces and pounds. It can be made with or without chorizo. I prefer it with soy-based meatless chorizo substitute, which also makes it a good dish for vegetarians.
Hawaiian-Style Beef Stew
This Hawaiian-style beef stew might be the best beef stew recipe you'll ever make, with a level of umami that's off the charts. Deeply browned beef gets a long slow simmer in a thick savory sauce, and you'll want to serve it over rice to capture all of that goodness. This recipe was adapted from "Grandpa Clarence's Hawaii-Style Beef Stew" from Jess at Plays Well with Butter.
Korean Mandu (Egg Rolls)
These small Korean egg rolls (also called mandu) are made with wonton wrappers, cabbage, beef, and pork. For larger rolls, use egg roll wrappers.
