- Every 25 to 30 minutes, use a baster to remove excess goose fat from the roasting pan. It will prevent your smoke alarms from alarming the neighbors. Set the goose fat aside, it can be rendered and used for many other delicious dishes. - Many food sources say to cook the goose to an internal temperature of 160° to 165°. The last time I did that I had an overdone and too chewy goose. When you remove the goose from the oven it will continue to cook. Goose, like duck, should be a little pink. - Thermal kitchen gloves are the absolute best poultry turners. You get to have your hands directly and firmly on the bird. It doesn’t tear the flesh, or slip and flip the bird flying.  Note: This is a double batch and will easily feed 35-40 people.

You can also add meat or shrimp to make the soup a little more robust.  Louisiana firefighter Jeremy Chauvin dedicated the recipe to his brother, Spencer. a local fire chief who died while on the job in 2016. The actual chili recipe comes from Chauvin’s mom, and adds a New Orleans twist to a classic red chili. The ground beef, spices, and tomatoes are combined with a dark roux, made from butter and flour cooked until the mixture goes a deep shade of brown. The roux is mixed with “trinity,” a mix of bell peppers, onions, and celery native to Louisiana, then added into the chili. Recipe declares as prepared below serves 8 people. That is a VERY generous serving! Ingredients: For the chili mixture 2 tablespoons cooking oil 3 pounds ground beef 1 ½ teaspoons salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon white or cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon turmeric ½ teaspoon curry powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 3 tablespoons steak sauce (or soy sauce) 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 ½ cups diced tomatoes 1 cup ketchup 2 cups tomato sauce 1 ½ cups tomato paste 1-2 cups V-8 juice 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar Hot sauce to taste. For the roux mixture 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 tablespoons flour 3 stalks celery, diced 2 bell peppers, diced (this used red and yellow jarred roasted peppers) 1 white onion, diced 2 shallots, diced ( this used an additional onion instead) 3 cloves garlic, finely diced Cooking Instructions :1. In Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Brown ground beef. 2. Drain beef; return to Dutch oven. Add salt, white pepper, black pepper, curry powder, turmeric, chili powder, steak sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Add diced tomatoes, cover, and cook 15 minutes. 3.
