A Big Bowl of Chili ~ Maybe a Couple of Bowls!

Chili is one of our all time favorite meals. We have it at least 1-2 x month. For me, I have made it so often that it is easy and I make it different every time. All depends on what I have on hand.

I start by browning ground beef and add in some onions and bell peppers. Sometimes I add in celery or carrots. Then I add in a can of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and kidney beans. Some people don't add beans but I always have. And, sometimes I don't have kidney beans so I add white beans. Add in my seasonings of garlic, oregano, chili powder, smoke paprika, cumin and some red pepper flakes for a little heat. There are different chili powders out there and they do have different flavors and heat so I love playing around with the spices. Stir, bring to a simmer and cook for 30-40 minutes.

So easy one pot meal. The leftovers are even better! I love it.

Chili is so good served with rice or pasta BUT our all time favorite is with a scoop of mashed potatoes!!! Yep, if you never have tried chili over a scoop of mashed potatoes...you must give it a try. Definite comfort food.

I usually garnish with cheese, green onions, a dab of sour cream and served with some tortilla chips.

Hope this gives you an idea of what to make for dinner. Have a good day and enjoy.
