Even though it’s almost summertime, I really wanted to make chili. I usually make it in the slow-cooker, so it cooks all day, and the flavors really marry together well. I like getting off from work and having dinner ready to go. Everyone makes their chili different, and it is always different in each region of the country (just like barbeque!). Here’s how I make mine:
28 oz can of peeled, crushed tomatoes
16 oz can of chili beans
10 oz can of diced tomatoes with diced green chilies
1 and ½ lbs of ground beef
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 packet of chili seasoning (use your favorite kind)
½ tsp oregano
1/8 tsp allspice
Optional Topping Ingredients:
Sour cream
Sliced jalapenos
Hot Sauce
Shredded cheese
Chopped or diced onion
Chopped green onions
Crackers
