Mmmm Chili!

Why hello there! It has been a while since I have posted! I've be so busy with work and school, it's hard to find the time to squeeze a post in. I must say though I was very ecstatic to see all the views the blog has been getting even though I haven't been posting (and I apologize for that!). So I want to thank you all for that! I am working on a way to try and atleast have one post a week! So hopefully that works out! Now on to todays post!
                                                                                                                                             
Homemade Chili!
Awhile back when I was on Sugar Crumbs ( if you don't read her blog you should definitely head over there!!) she posted a recipe for slow cooked Chili and I have really been in the mood for Chili lately so I went back on her blog just to find the recipe! Head on over there to see the original base recipe for this Chili ( you have to go in her posts from January 2012). I changed it up a bit to fit the way I like my Chili, so that is what I will share with you. My modified recipe!
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 Pounds of ground beef (not pictured)
  • 2 (16 ounce) cans of Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans of Basil,Garlic & Oregano 'flavored' diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce
  • 1 (8 ounce) can of Rotel zesty tomato and green chili sauce, mild
  • 1 meduim onion, chopped
  • 1 yellow pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
-For the garlic cloves I just used the minced garlic that comes in a jar, it tells you on the jar how many teaspoons ~ a garlic clove-
Directions
 
  1. Cook ground beef in skillet until no longer pink, drain. Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cover, cook on high for 4 hours (or on low for 8-10 hours)


DIG IN!
I apologize for my crappy pictures.
 
Ta-da! This was the bowl I ate for dinner! We paired the chili with white rice and corn bread! We have lots of left overs so i'll be having chili for lunch tomorrow!
  • 2 quick notes. In the end I added some hot sauce and a tablespoon of Goya Sofrito to make it alittle spicy!
 
Now go ahead! Run to the kitchen and whip up a huge pot of chili! It'll go great with this chilly weather we are having ;) see what I did there, lol.
