I am really craving it but can not remember the recipe or where I stored it. LOL Please help?
I don't use tomatoes in my chilli. I make it the way my Grandmother always made it:
In a stock pot brown together:
1.5 to 2 pounds of Ground Beef ( I use Ground Chuck) depends on how much meat you like in it.
1 small onion diced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Tablespoon of your favorite chilli powder.
Add 1 large can of kidney beans ( I prefer the light colored ones), another Tablespoon of chilli powder & 1 can of water. Add salt & pepper to taste. Cover & bring to full boil, then turn down to slow boil (usually Medium heat). Cook until the juice thickens & beans are soft. About 1 -1.5 hours. I actually like it better after it's been refrigerated & re-heated.
