Chili
We like it served with crackers. My husband loves this with buttered saltine crackers. Also nice with cornbread.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef ( I like the 15% fat)
1 1/2 sweet onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1-1 1/2 tbsp cocoa (really adds some depth of flavor)
1 tomato, cut up fresh tomato
1 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
1 15 ounce can of beans (usually kidney beans, but often I vary the beans, I like navy or white beans too, sometimes garbanzo beans or black beans)
l tsp hot sauce
1 4 ounce can of green chilies
2 Serrano chiles if you like it hot, otherwise, leave out
Start by adding some olive oil to a large saucepan, stir fry the onions until caramelized, about 2 minutes, add garlic and stir fry for a 30 seconds, season with salt and pepper, remove to a bowl.
Next brown the ground beef in a large saucepan, preferably not non stick, as you want the browned bits at the bottom from the beef and onions to enter the sauce. Crumble up the meat as you stir fry the burger until it is basically done. Remove the oil with a baster (optional).
Add the onions back in, the can of tomatoes (with the liquid), beans (mostly drained), peppers, chilies, fresh tomato, hot sauce, cocoa and herbs. Break up the canned tomatoes or cut them up while in the pot. It gets thicker and more flavorful the longer it can simmer.
Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes to 1 hour. A great item for the crock pot or slow cooker.
