As New York City and Northern New Jersey spruce up for their first Super Bowl, Woodloch Pines Resort is rolling out the welcome mat to skeptical New Yorkers wanting to beat the crowds.

Woodloch Pines Resort is a perfect family-friendly escape from the chaos while still taking advantage of the excitement of this first cold weather Super Bowl in the Northeast. This all-inclusive Poconos resort offers cozy special rates and activities for Super Bowl Weekend with rates starting at $199 per adult, per night*.

For those celebrating game day in the comfort of their own home, the chefs at the Poconos family resort have shared their famous Woodloch Chili Recipe to spread the winning spirit:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 large fresh onions, coarse chopped (1 ½ cups)
- 1 ½ tsp. minced garlic
- 1 large chopped tomato
- 3 mild or hot green chilies
- 1 ½ cup beef broth
- 2 Tbsp. bacon drippings
- 3 lbs. lean beef chuck, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 6 Tbsp. pure ground hot chili
- 3 Tbsp. cumin
- 2 Tbsp. pure ground mild chili

- Water
- 1 Tbsp. crushed chili Caribe or red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 tsp. dried oregano, soaked in ¼ cup warm beer
- 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. tortilla flour or cornmeal
INSTRUCTIONS:
Melt bacon drippings in large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add meat in 2 batches if necessary & cook on all sides until it loses its pink color. Add onions, ground hot chili, cumin, ground mild chili, garlic, salt and black pepper. Add water to barely cover the meat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 1 to 1 ½ hours until meat is almost tender, adding more water if needed. Add 1 cup of beef broth to the chopped chilis, tomatoes, chili Caribe, oregano-beer mixture & vinegar. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring often. Stir tortilla flour into remaining ½ cup beef broth, then stir into chili & simmer 15-20 minutes until meat is very tender and sauce is red-brown.
