Winter in Michigan means its time for chili. Chili is a quick and hearty meal for a chilly day and its nutritious too. This chili recipe features a number of shortcuts that will give you perfect results every time. And if you can minimize the clean up by cooking all in one pot its even better. If the meat is defrosted you can put this meal together in about 30 minutes. Heres a great recipe for quick, home made chili.
You will need;
One pound of ground beef ( or venison)
1 medium onion diced
seasoned salt and pepper to taste
1 can of chili or kidney beans ( dark or light)
1 quart jar of any spaghetti sauce ( regular or traditional works well)
1 can of chili ready diced tomatoes ( or plain diced)
Chili powder to taste
Shredded cheddar or taco blend cheese- optional
Crackers- optional
Place the ground beef and onions in the bottom of a medium sized ( 3-4 quart) pot and cook until the meat is brown and onions soft. You can season the meat with the seasoned salt and pepper to your liking. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the kidney beans, spaghetti sauce and tomatoes to the pot. Stir well. Cook, adding chili powder a teaspoon at a time and tasting until you have achieved the right level of spice for your family. Let the chili simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Do not add water. The spaghetti sauce and juice from the tomatoes makes the consistency of the chili just right.
Serve chili with about a half cup of shredded cheese on top and crackers on the side.
This recipe will make about 6 servings. If you want to stretch the servings you can add another can of kidney beans. You can also double the ingredients for a big pot of chili.
Serve left over chili on corn chips the next day for a different twist to the meal.
Some variations to the basic chili recipe
If you like food spicy, use a spicy sausage instead of ground beef and add chopped jalapeo or other hot peppers. Use a large jar of hot salsa in place of canned tomatoes.
Vegetarians can leave out the meat and add a can of black beans or navy beans and some frozen whole kernel corn.
