Chili

Instead of opening a can of prepared chili, try using this simple recipe.  It will make a lot, but it can be frozen and easily reheated.

Chili


1 pound Ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried garlic
1 - 2 tablespoons chili powder (start with one and taste the chili and add more based on how spicy you like your chili)
1 28 ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 40 ounce can of hot chili beans
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1 beef bouillon cube
1 tsp salt

Place ground beef and chopped onions in a large stockpot and cook on medium until the beef is brown in color. Pour beef and onions into a colander to drain off the grease.  Place beef and onions back into the stockpot and add the remaining ingredients, turn heat to high and boil stirring for 1 - 2  minutes.  Next, simmer on low for at least one hour.  You can also brown the beef and put all the ingredients into a crockpot and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.

We like to eat this over cooked spaghetti with shredded cheddar cheese on top.  Enjoy!
