How To Make Chili

There's nothing like a big bowl of chili after a hard day.



My favorite time to make chili is in the fall of the year when the are starts to get a nip in it and the leaves start to change. I think once you try this chili, you will agree that it will warm you heart and soul.

1 pound of ground chuck
1/2 cup of onion, diced
1/2 cup of green pepper, diced
1 teaspoon of cumin powder
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoons of salt
1 can (15-ounces) of tomato sauce
1 can (15-ounces) of diced tomatoes
1 (16-ounces) cans of kidney beans, do not drain
1 (16-ounces) cans of pinto beans, do not drain
1 cup of beef broth (you can substitute 1 envelope beefy onion soup mix and 1 cup of water)
2 teaspoons of sugar

Here's what you need to do:

In a large pot, brown ground chuck. Drain and return to pot. Add the onion, green pepper,cumin, chili powder, black pepper, salt, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, beef broth and sugar. Stir.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer on low heat, uncovered for 2 hours.

Serve with cornbread
