When I started this blog, I promised recipes in addition to news, reviews, deals, and more, and though I've pounded out a few dishes since them, I have yet to deliver on a single recipe. As I mentioned, I love to cook, and dabble in everything from super easy, semi-homemade, to totally-from-scratch dishes. This month has been a little hectic though, so the easy recipes have come out more often than not.
I used a super easy and delish chili recipe that my grandma used to make last night, and thought I'd share today as fall weather is encroaching on us. It's about an hour from start to finish, but most of that is just letting all the ingredients simmer, so you can run off and do other stuff in the meantime. I serve with cornbread (confession: I used a box mix last night for lack of time), sour cream and cheese, and use all organic veggies (they come canned now too, yippee!).
More from-scratch recipes will come with time, but in the meantime, enjoy this "easy eat!"
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey (I use 93/7 ground beef)
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped (I use a food processor as the boyfriend does not like chunky onions)
- 2 cloves crushed garlic
- 1.5 cans diced tomatoes (14.5 oz. cans)
- 1 can kidney beans (15 oz.)
- 1 can chili beans (15 oz.)
- 2-3 tbsp. chili powder
- 1.5 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper sauce (optional, for spicier chili)
- Water to thin (I use 1-2 cups)
Directions:
Brown beef with chopped onion and garlic. Drain. Add to all other ingredients in a large pot. Add water to thin as desired. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes to one hour.
