My take on chili includes ground beef, veggies, and a little heat. This one pot meal is quick to throw together, the only time consuming aspect is that it needs to simmer for several hours. In the meantime, it makes the whole house smell amazing. As a bonus, I've found it's a great way to sneak veggies into my kids!
Ingredients
2 pounds of ground beef
2 medium onions, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 can of red beans (drained)
1 large can of diced tomatoes with juice (28 oz)
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded, de-veined, and finely minced
3 T chili powder
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 t black pepper
1 t salt
Directions
Add ground beef and onions to a stock pot, and cook until browned over a medium heat (about 10 minutes), breaking up large chunks as you go along. Drain fat from the meat. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combined. Add six cups of water to the pot, and stir again. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then cover and simmer over a low heat for 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Serve family style with bowls of shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, diced fresh tomatoes, sour cream and warm slices of cornbread.
