I try to stick to pretty easy, simple, (but still yummy!) recipes; otherwise I get overwhelmed and find myself dreading dinner time or just not cooking at all! If I can’t pronounce the ingredients or don’t already know what aisle to find them in the grocery store or if there are lots of steps that require perfect timing, probably not the recipe for me!
Easy Texas Chili is a recipe I found a few months ago at allrecipes.com. It has been a regular in our house this winter. Yum yum!
INGREDIENTS:
2 lbs lean ground beef or turkey, thawed
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper, minced
3 (15 oz) cans pinto beans
2 (28 oz) cans diced tomatoes
4 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
DIRECTIONS:
1) Cook and stir beef, onion and bell pepper in large sauté pan, over medium heat until beef is brown and onion and pepper are tender (around ten minutes). Drain grease from beef.
2) Stir remaining ingredients (including water from the bean cans and tomato cans) into large pot over medium heat. Add beef, onion and pepper when cooked.
3) Bring mixture to a slow boil; cover and reduce heat to low.
4) Simmer chili at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it does not stick. (This chili can be simmered for several hours; the longer you simmer, the more flavor you will get!)
Let me know if you try this recipe and what you think! Happy cooking!
