I have a great recipe for you this time, one that you can make anytime you feel the need for warm comfort food, and those of you on the cooler west side of the state probably feel that need often...
Get out your big pot, the one with the heavy bottom. Heat it up and saute a big, diced onion in a couple tablespoons of olive oil.
And three or four garlic cloves. And a diced green pepper. And even some jalapenos, if you wish. Saute it all up nicely.
Then add 1 lb. ground beef and cook it all together, with the lid on, until the pink in the meat is gone. Initially add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (you may need more later but this is a good start).
Then add one can (or jar, if you were good and canned some up last summer) tomatoes. And one can black beans.
If you need a bigger chili add two pounds ground beef, two cans of tomatoes and two cans black beans. The only adjustment you really need will be in the spices.
Cook over low heat as long as necessary (one to three hours is optimal). If your chili gets a little drier than you like, add a couple cups of beef broth.
Delightful. Serve with warm corn bread, honey & butter, or those biscuits I gave you the recipe for awhile back.
I love this so much. That's why I wanted to share it with you guys.
Take care.
