Welcome to Winter! Where I live, Winter is definitely upon us... temperatures are freezing and it's bitterly cold outside! So I'd say this is the perfect time to make something warm for dinner... like chili!
...And you know it's the time of year to make chili when you can go to the grocery store and they have a whole little display featuring ALL the ingredients you need for making a pot!
I have never made chili myself, so I bought the McCormick chili seasoning packet and then turned it over to find a recipe - which I then bought all the ingredients for. Then I got home and found a chili recipe my Mom gave me... which was quite different... so I came up with my own recipe, and I'm sharing it below! And I was excited that it turned out very yummy - though my husband said it needed more hamburger and less beans. (He hates beans.) I thought it was just right, though... and even my 4 year old liked it. :) Oh, and my husband grew up eating chili this way... throw a few dollops of sour cream on top and also cover it in shredded cheese. I thought that was weird... until I tried it for myself and now I love eating chili this way! :) Hope you enjoy! Oh, and this recipe makes about 4-5 servings... depending on how much you eat in one sitting :)
Super Simple Chili
1 1/2 lbs. ground chuck
1 package mild chili seasoning
1 can kidney beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1/4 tsp. each -- pepper, seasoned salt, garlic powder
1/2 tsp. minced onion
I brown the hamburger in a skillet after sprinkling all the 1/4 tsp and 1/2 tsp seasonings on top.
In a small pot, mix the kidney beans (do not drain), diced tomatoes (do not drain) and tomato sauce and chili seasoning. Add browned hamburger. Let simmer for at least 30 minutes.
