Also, I am curious what makes it "mock"... sounds like a chili to me!
;)

My usual chili takes a lot more time/fuss. I'll put in an assortment of peppers, meat will be usually be beef but used a combo of beef, goat and
elk in a prize winning chili. I'll also use onions, tomatoes (diced and paste), then cook it long and low, letting it really combine flavors.
That's my competition style chili; I also make a family friendly one
with ground beef, bell pepper, onion, beans, tomato, corn and various powdered peppers. It's milder, more for those that don't like it hot
(but it has also won a couple of cook offs). UDD introduced me to the
first version of chili; the second (family friendly) is a take off on
what Steve and I grew up with.

OK, so now I know that "mock" means not competition level. :)

Or in this case, just a throw together of some of my usual chili
ingredients. (G)

We're due for a big snow storm over the week end so we went to Wegman's
today to get a few things. Don't need bread, milk or eggs but picked up
some kimmelweck rolls and beef for supper tonight as well as a bagged
salad. Also got some split peas to use with a ham bone (probably Sunday,
if snowed in) as I'm planning to do chicken soup to use up a rotisserie
chicken tomorrow. I had to get some dill pickles (got Wegman's own
brand) so I can make rouladen next week. The store was crowded and a lot
of the shelves of basics (bread, milk, meat) were empty. Our fridge and freezers are quite well stocked, we have full propane tanks and we can
move into the camper if power goes out so we're set for snow. We've
still got some snow and ice from last week end's storm. (G)

We are due some more snow starting late today. It won't be a lot but will
be falling on top of what we already have... ice (from sleet, thank
goodness) and compacted snow. It won't help matters but we should be ok
as they are not calling for any freezing rain this time.

I still wouldn't want to be in the store here today! ;)

Sounds like you are well stocked and well prepared for whatever might come your way. Good on you!
