  Chili

   

  Serves 14-16.

   

  There are a millions of chili recipes out there. So many, in fact, that I couldn't pick just one. Instead, I pulled from multiple and made up my own basic recipe. Feel free to modify as you like, using the variations I suggest below, or by creating your own version.

   

  3 lb. ground beef

  2 onions, chopped
  1 green pepper, chopped
  2-3 cloves garlic, minced

  salt and pepper, to taste

  29 oz. can tomato sauce

  (2) 28-oz. cans crushed tomatoes

  15 oz. can chili beans

  15 oz. can kidney beans

  15 oz. can pinto beans

  6 oz. can tomato paste

  1 T. Worchestershire sauce

  1 T. chili powder

  2 t. cumin

  1 t. dried oregano

  1 t. crushed red pepper flakes

  2 T. brown sugar

   

  In a large skillet, or a large stock pot, brown ground beef and garlic over medium heat. Drain and crumble. Season with salt and pepper

  (If using a crock pot, transfer beef and garlic to crock pot at this time.)

  In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine ground beef, garlic, onion and green pepper. Add in remaining ingredients, and allow to simmer for at least 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

  In a crock pot, cook on low for 8 hours. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes, which is why using your crock pot is a good option.

   

  Serve with shredded cheddar and sour cream.

   

  Easy Variations: Substitute ground pork/turkey/chicken for half (or all) of the ground beef; stir in a tablespoon of hot sauce; use black beans in place of one of the types suggested above; add a can of diced green chiles; stir in a bottle of your favorite beer, etc.

  Mine is super easy and delicious, however it doesn't involve a slow cooker.

  Ingredients:

  1 can of diced tomatoes,  1 packet of chili seasoning, 1 can of chili with no beans,  1 can of chili beans, 1 cup of elbow macaroni, 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 lb of lean ground beef.

  Brown the ground beef,  add all above ingredients to a pot and simmer for about 30 minutes. 

  The best part of all is you can play around with it a bit, and make it as spicy or mild as you want.  I usually make a homemade cornbread to go with it.  I've gotten a lot of compliments on this chili.

  Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
