I absolutely LOVE this chili recipe.
I've changed it throughout the years and I think I've finally perfected it to our tastes. I realize not everyone will like this but it works for my kids.
1 can CRUSHED tomatoes
1 can kidney beans
1 pound ground beef
onions
3 bell pepper
3 to 4 jalapenos
garlic
1 cup water
I love Pictsweet's recipe helpers. They also have green bell pepper and jalapenos. Sometimes I use the frozen if I'm in a hurry. But I almost always use the frozen onions. You just can't beat the convience.
This is about the amount of onions I use. It's maybe a cup. I would use more but my kids and husband don't really care for onions. I make sure to cook them with my meat so they're good and soft. I season my meat with Worcester sauce and pepper.
While that is cooking I slice up my peppers and use a mini food processor. My kids are not fans of chunks in their food. (Ha)
It's not mush it's more finely chopped.
When I'm not pressed for time I use fresh garlic if not I use the ready to use minced garlic. Usually 2 tablespoons.
I let that cook for about five minutes stirring constantly. I then lower the heat and add the can of tomatoes, kidney beans and one cup of water.
Then I add 4 tablespoons of chili powder. I also add red pepper and oregano. (about a teaspoon)
I let it simmer for about 45 minutes
Then when it's done I top mine with cheese.
