Cold Weather Chili

Dec 07 2017

Turned cold so it was time for a pot of chili for last nights supper. For years each batch of chili was a little different. My wife said why don’t you get a good recipe and stick to it. I am now keeping pretty consistent with my recipe.Following is my basic recipe.

1 to 1 ½ lbs ground chuck

1 large sweet onion, chopped

1 - 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes

1 can beans for chili, I used Bush’s

½ can of beer

1 cup beef broth

3 TBS chili powder or to taste

½ teaspoon cumin

Hot sauce to taste

If you like more beans add a can of pinto or little red beans

I brown the beef and drain off the grease then add the chopped onions and cook until soft then add in the chili powder and cook a while. Then add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Bring all to a boil then turn down to a simmer and cook 2 to 3 hours. After an hour check for seasoning.

The wife and I like shredded cheese on top and sometimes sour cream served with saltine crackers and butter. Last nights chili was great.
