A Day to Remember and a Game to Forget

OU, Sooners, Boomer Sooner

It’s OU/texas weekend y’all!! We have been rocking our crimson and cream all week!! One of the things I love the most about having gone to OU is the school pride. I don’t think it is going to matter how old I get, I will always get butterflies when I hear our fight song. The OU/Texas rivalry is something every Sooner and Longhorn fan looks forward to each year. It doesn’t matter the team ranks, each team shows up for this game (well, you hope they do). We had a little watch party to cheer on our Sooners while they did some work losing.

On the menu:

White chicken chili: I follow this recipe, White Chicken Chili , and make a couple changes. Actually, just one. I use all organic ingredients, so I don’t use the Bush beans. Ha.

Dutch Oven Beef Chili: I used this recipe, Dutch Oven Chili. I altered the recipe by using just 1lb beef. The hubs, wasn’t so happy about that. He’s right. There really isn’t anything better than chili leftovers. We cooked this chili in our Dutch Oven on our Big Green Egg (best investment ever). 

The Sides: Shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, and Fritos.

Chili seems to be my go to menu item when having a group of people over.  It’s healthy, fairly easy to throw together, pretty hard to mess up, and easy to make sure you have enough food!

The party was a success…even if the game was not. We lost. Bad. But, that’s what keeps this rivalry fun. You never know whats going to happen. We still love our Sooners and we’re mourning with them today. 😉
