Quick Homemade Chili
2 tablespoons Wesson vegetable oil
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
1 15 ounce can kidney beans, undrained
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
2 8 ounce cans Hunt’s tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
Cook and stir garlic and ground beef in hot Wesson oil in a large skillet until meat loses its red color. Add beans with their liquid, onion and green pepper. Pour in tomato sauce, add salt and chili powder, and stir. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until chili is desired thickness, about 45 minutes, 4 servings.
My mother disliked green peppers, so subbed celery, which I also prefer. I also omit the salt because I like more chili powder, which is quite salty. All I need is some ground beef, and it goes on my menu--our cold, windy rainy weather of late and to come is the perfect time to make some chili. Hmm...I do have some ground turkey, and with a touch of soy sauce added for umami flavor it just might be good, so maybe tonight! Thanks again for the timely post.
