We have also nicknamed this recipe "Hair on the Chest Chili" due to it being too spicey for my husband's taste. Ok, we have a slightly weird sense of humor at times in my household.
List of Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef; cooked; drained
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with chilies; do not drain
- 3 cans of chili seasoned kidney beans
- 1 package of chili seasoning mix
- 2 8-ounce cans of tomato sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon minced garlic
- (optional)1/4 cup onions; chopped
- (optional)1/4 cup green peppers; chopped
Preparation:
In a large dutch oven combine all ingredients then simmer over medium, stirring occassionally, for at least 30 minutes although closer to 1 hour is better, in my opinion. Let it simmer, not come to a boil. Serve.
Servings: 6 to 8; depending on heavy-handed you are with the ladle.
Garnishments (optional): Sprinkle a small amount of cheddar cheese on top after dipping.
