Chili

Fall weather can only mean one thing:
It's time to make CHILI!


My chili recipe is one that I have pieced together and changed around a variety of times. But now that Chris has had his hand in making it - having one of the strongest stomachs for spicy foods that I know - he says he loves it, so I can officially say this is THE recipe we'll be sticking with! This recipe makes a BIG batch but chili is great to freeze for later and save for lunches.

Ingredients
2 lbs lean ground beef
1.5 cups chopped onion
olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup "Just My Taste" jalepeno marinade/ sauce (or you could use chiles.. something spicy!)
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (undrained)
15 oz chili beans - we used 1 small can of kidney beans and 1 small can of black beans (drained & rinsed)
1.5 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
tabasco sauce, to taste

Directions

Over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion with olive oil.
Add garlic and pepper and continue to cook for about 2 minutes.
Add jalepenos, tomatoes, beans, and spices.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Simmer covered for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Top with cheddar cheese :)
