So, she had me give a urine sample and now 'm on a course of antibotcs

It's odd. Back in the day when I told huge doses of duretcsmy kdneys
out-processed potassum to the pont suffered muscle cramps. So began
taking a potassium supplement stll have several jars of 99mg tablets

've pretty much qut Steak & Shake since they went to the "quick-serve" format
and got rid of table servce. I told Jim Stuller (they're the S&S franchisee for
this area), if he goes back to "dancing with who brought him" to the party I'd
go back to eating in his restaurants.

Title: Steak & Shake 5 Way Chilli
Categories: Beef, Chilies, Beans, Herbs, Cheese
Yield: 8 Servings
MMMMM---------------------------CHILLI--------------------------------
2 lb Coarse ground chuck (80/20)
1 1/2 c Onion; diced
1 ts Celery salt
32 oz Tomato sauce
1 c Water
28 oz Pinto or Chilli beans
2 ts Garlic powder
1 1/2 ts Garlic salt
2 tb + 1 ts chilli spice mix
1/2 ts (ea) salt & pepper
16 oz Tomato paste
MMMMM-----------------------5-WAY ADD ONS----------------------------
1 lb (dry weight) spaghetti
1 md Onion; diced
12 oz Co-Jack (Monterey Jack &
- Colby cheese blend)
2 tb Heinz Chili Sauce
Please note the onions that are cooked in the chilli are
optional. You can leave them out. I personally love
onions when cooked in the chilli. Steak N Shake does not
add onions to cooked chilli. Chopped onions are served on
top of the chilli.
In a skillet on medium-low heat saute ground beef and
onions. When the beef has been cooked, drain all grease
and place in a medium-large saucepan. Add celery salt,
tomato sauce, beans, garlic powder, garlic salt, chilli
spice, pepper, water, and salt, mix all ingredients.
On low heat place a lid on the saucepan and simmer for
one hour, stirring frequently. After the chilli has been
cooking for an hour add tomato paste and stir well.
Place lid on the pan and simmer an additional half-hour.
Prepare spaghetti as directed and drain.
TO ASSEMBLE: For individual serving: In a shallow bowl
or plate place: Generous helpings of spaghetti 3/4 cup
chilli 2 tablespoon Chili Sauce, Chopped Onions (to taste)
1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack and Colby Cheese Mix Top
with additional onions to your taste.
