Chili recipe?

Does anyone have a real easy one?

Re: Chili recipe?

I actually just made a big pot of it for dinner tonight. I have no recipe but can tell you what I do.

1 lb of ground beef or ground turkey
1/2 lb of sausage
one big onion chopped

brown these together and then I added 1 big can of tomato sauce (29oz)
and 2 (29 oz each) cans of diced tomatoes. I let this cook for awhile as I like my tomatoes to soften and reduce. When it has simmered a good 45 mins to an hour I will add 2 cans of pink kidney beans, tomato paste if I think it needs to be thickened and a package of chili seasonings. I bring to a boil and get everything good and hot.

You really could skip the cooking for an hour that is just what I do to get my tomatoes perfect for me!!

Just made this- came out great:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 lb lean beef
2 chipotle chilis and a teaspoon of adobo sauce
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 can pink or kidney beans, rinsed
1 can fire roasted chopped tomatoes (muir glen brand- so delish)
1/2 bottle beer
1 teeny pinch cinnamon
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon spanish paprika

heat olive oil in dutch oven over medium-high heat- sautee onions & garlic for 5 minutes until translucent-season with salt & pepper.

Add tomato paste, chipotle chilies, and spices and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes until spices darken.

Add beef and cook until no longer pink- about 5 minutes.

Add rest of ingredients (beans, beer, tomatoes) and simmer for 20 minutes.

I serve w/ cornbread.
