Awesome Chili Recipes

Welcome to my collection of Awesome Chili Recipes. Here you can find a few of my favorite recipes for one of the most amazing and spectacular dishes ever invented chili.

This first recipe is for my chili. I don't know what I could call it but for now, we'll call it Tom's Chili. It's easy to make, inexpensive and tastes great. You can alter any of the ingredients if you like. I like thick chili because you can use any leftovers as a dip for tortilla chips. If you still have a bunch of chili left over, don't worry because you can freeze the leftovers too.

Here’s what you’ll need.

2 lbs of lean ground beef
2 packages of chili seasoning. (I use durkee brand)
1 package of stir fry peppers (use fresh if you want, but I make it easy.)
1 big Spanish onion (dice it up)
2 tablespoons of minced garlic (or 4 cloves if you want fresh)
2 big cans (16 oz cans) of crushed tomatoes (the ones with the spice in it are great)
5 drops of Tabasco (add more if you want)
1 teaspoon of nutmeg (or a dash or two of pumpkin pie seasoning)
2 cans of beans, kidney or pink beans work great.

Here’s what you’ll do.

Take your beans and rinse them off and drain them. Place them in a big pot. Now take your 2 cans of crushed tomatoes and pour them into the pot. Do not drain the tomatoes. Dump it all in there. Finally, put the rest of your ingredients, except the meat, into the pot and mix it up with a spoon, ladle, fork or whatever you want. Let the ingredients simmer. The ingredients will look really thick in the pot, but don’t worry. As the onions, tomatoes and peppers simmer, they’ll release their juices.

While that is simmering, cook your meat. Brown it up and drain the excess fat or grease.
When your meat is finished, place it in the pot with the rest of the ingredients. Put a lid on the pot and let everything simmer on medium heat again for about 20 minutes.

Serve with crackers or sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top.
