I have been rattling my brain for a great post for today. Here it is super easy chili. You already have everything you need.
Ingredients: 1 onion (whatever form you have)
Garlic to your liking. 1 pound Ground meat in you have
Chili powder you have Salt and pepper
Brown your meat off and drain off fat. Put everything in your pot or slow cooker. Season your chili your way. You to add seasonal vegetables, good for it. This recipe is meant to be a general outline for you to start with and build upon. You like beans in your chili? So do I. I use chili ready beans.
Don’t go buy anything special. This is about using what you have on hand. Here are a few things I put in my chili. The great thing with chili is you can taylor it around your (and/or your family’s) likes. And food allergy issues. You can change for spring and summer making it lighter. Fall and winter you can make it hearty.
Mushrooms. I grew up with canned mushrooms in chili and American Goulash which isn’t that different from chili. Other veggies where bell peppers and tomatoes.
Beans or no beans. I like beans in my chili because it increases the fiber, protein and other nutrients. Same goes with veggies.
Sides. Again we use whatever cheese in our fridge with sour cream. Pasta no pasta. We are a no pasta and chili family. I had macaroni with American Goulash. Of course, corn bread.
There you go. That’s our chili and a look at the chili I grew up eating.
