Because I am making it for my son, basically, I have to go the No Beans Chili’
There are endless lists of Chili recipes, and just as many opinions and/or debates. Okay, arguments or even fights!
I just had to make a recipe from what I had in my pantry.
So this is it…
(For accurate measurements, you might want to follow No Beans About It – Chili)
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Directions
1. Crumble the ground beef into a stock pot or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook stirring frequently until beef is evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
2. Season with chili powder, oregano, cumin and hot sauce. Stir in the tomatoes and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 1 hour – or longer if you have time. Stir occasionally to prevent burning on the bottom.
Now y’all know you can vary things here. Like BACON ;D beans, Worcestershire sauce , etc….
Or even use this for Chili Hot Dogs or Chili fries???
It turned out very good! And it also turns out to be good that I picked up a lot from my Aunt Ann aka Missy (Italian = plenty if company stops in.)
I ended up with an ex-neighbor unexpectedly stopping by to visit. He is a sweet older man, Dwayne, and he, my son, I and even Lily enjoyed this chili. Although Lily had to drink a lot of milk!
