Chili

There is nothing better than a big bowl of chili during a fall day.  As the leaves start to fall and the cool evenings come in, a bowl of chili is just what you need to bring it all together. But who says you have to wait until then.  Grilling hotdogs...top them off with this delicious chili.  I have made this recipe many times, and it's always a hit.

Ingredients:

3 pounds of ground beef

2 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes

1 8 oz can of tomato sauce

1 8 oz can of tomato paste

1 med onion chopped

1 med green pepper chopped

2 15.5 can of kidney beans

1 tbsp of cumin

2 tsp of chili powder

1 tsp of cayenne pepper

1 tsp of paprika

1 tsp of dried oregano

1 tsp of dried thyme

1 tsp of black pepper

salt to taste

In a pan cook the ground beef until brown then drain any liquid in the pan.  Add the chopped onions and peppers.  Cook for about 5 minutes.  Add all of the other ingredients.  Cook for about 20 minutes on low and then simmer for another 15 minutes.  Enjoy with some shredded cheddar cheese and a scoop of sour cream!!
