Cold days outside, Hot Spicy Chili inside
Here is my modified version of the Simple Chili Recipe, using only what I had in my pantry and items generously donated to our family from the local food bank.
-
1 lb ground beef
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
-
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
-
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
1 tablespoon chili powder**
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
1 lb of cooked pinto beans
Directions:
Preparing beans;
-
Sort and rinse pinto beans into a colander. Place beans in crock pot and fill it with water. Beans will cook on low overnight, seasoned with tablespoon of salt.
Preparing meat; (next day)
Cook beef, onion and garlic salt until beef is brown.
Stir in remaining ingredients except beans.
Heat to boiling, reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Stir in prepared meat to beans in crock pot. I drained the beans of their juices before placing meat in it.
Cook on High setting for 1 hour and reduce heat to low.
Its ready to serve. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream on top of chips, Frito\’s.
Place leftovers into quart-size freezer bag. Make sure to release air from bag.
** I used the Mexican chili powder and it was very spicy. Next time I will use 1/2 tablespoon of chili powder.
