Hello,
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here it is pouring buckets of rain. The temperature has dropped and I am thinking about something to stick to my ribs. Something that doesn't require many ingredients and taste oh so good. My friend Judy has been asking me for a while for a post about chili and this one is for her. The weather is screaming for it......
I love, love, love, "CHILI". You can make chili with different types of meat and with or without beans. Like most things that I create its a personal preference. I prefer to use ground turkey when I make chili here at home, but have also made it with ground beef, stew beef, or chicken.
I believe that all chili starts with a base and you build from there. I like to start with lots of diced onions, green peppers, and sliced mushrooms for ground turkey or ground beef chili. I don't add any extra oil to the pan to saute the veggies because of fat from the ground meat. (SAVE THE EXTRA CALORIES WHEN YOU CAN) Its a little different for stew beef and chicken. I like to add the following spices: Cumin, chili powder, lots of fresh garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, sugar, and chipotle peppers or jalapenos, or crushed red pepper flakes. Once to meat is cooked and the veggies are soft I then add canned chunky tomatoes and canned black beans. I like using black beans because they are small and tasty. Once you have added all the ingredients I like to simmer the whole pot for a good 30minutes or how ever long you can hold out for before sampling it. Chili is great served with a nice fresh baked piece of corn bread or crackers. I hope you all enjoy! I plan on doing so!!!
INGREDIENTS:
MEAT OF YOUR CHOICE, GROUND BEEF OR TURKEY

ReplyDeleteHey Aaron,
ReplyDeleteI just made some last night you would have enjoyed it! I hope all is going well for you in Arizona. There has been a lot of unfortunate stuff happening at PP lately.
