Beef Chili Recipe

The countdown to fall is here and what's better for cooler weather than a nice hot pot of chili? I like mine to have a huge tomato flavor and lots of different tastes as well as some kick. It goes great on hotdogs and noodles as well. This feeds about three to four people, depending on how much you like to go back for seconds.

Homemade Beef Chili

• 1lb ground beef
• 1 15 oz can kidney beans (I like dark red but light red works too)
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (I use chili ready so I can use less seasonings)
• 1 29 oc can tomato sauce
• 1/2 diced yellow onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
• Chili Powder
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Salt (I like to use garlic salt because I'm a fiend for garlic)
• Pepper
• Tobasco Sauce (optional if you like heat) 

Brown meat with onion and bell pepper. Season with a little onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 

Drain meat and return it to the pan. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, 1 15 oz can of water. Stir well. Add in chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Tobasco sauce and stir well. 

Let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, taste, season if needed, simmer 10 more minutes if you add more seasoning.

This is really good with cornbread! I like to use Jiffy cornbread mix because I'm lazy lol
