Do you have any good Chili recipes?!
Answers: I would love some new idea's
Oh Judy, this is one of my favourite American foods! I have made it with 3 sorts of beans: red, kidney and black. I like it with tomatoes and meat, such as ground beef or pork! Add all of the spices, which I buy in a packet at the shop. Brilliant!
I'm no good at following recipes. My chili comes out different every time. But I do have two "secret" ingredients I like to use.
1. Beer, preferably a stout such as Guiness. Use about a pint for a large batch. It's best if the beer is room temperature but it doesn't need to be flat.
2. Baking cocoa. I use about 3/4 to 1 cup for a large batch.
I take one pound of lean ground beef and one medium onion, chopped, put in pot and cover with cold water. Slowly bring to boil while stirring occasionally. When browned thoroughly, drain and add one 16 oz. can kidney beans, one 16 oz. can crushed tomatoes, 1 TBSP chili powder. Continue simmering until onion is thoroughly cooked. Add more tomatoes and more chili powder if desired, or according to taste and texture. It is simple and lower in fat, because you drain excess fat.
