My Chili recipe:
1 lb ground beef
1 large yellow onion
1 large green pepper
1 can red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can yellow corn
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 McCormik Chili Seasoning Packet (I use HOT!)
tabasco sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
ground black pepper
corn tortilla chips
1) chop up the onion, chop up the green pepper, put in a large cook pot, and add the ground beef. Sprinkle in some black pepper, and brown the ground beef (with the onions and green pepper.) Once it's browned, drain the fat if necessary.
2) in a collandar, rinse the red beans, black beans, and corn (gets all the perservative sodium liquid from the can off it- yuck!). Add red beans, black beans, corn, and stewed tomatoes to the cook pot. Stir in the chili seasoning.
3) cover pot, and let simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4) serve in a bowl, with tortilla chips around the perimeter, and topped with shredded cheese- add tobasco to taste..
MMmmmmm!!! This is for folks that like a thicker (not soupy) kinda chili.
*Optional* Add 1 cup uncooked brown rice, two cups water to a seperate pot, bring to a light boil, then cover and simmer until the rice is cooked. Stir in the rice when you add the beans, corn, and tomatoes- and cook as normal. Heavy man heavy! Good stuff.
