CHILI

Okay so it’s cold and snowy out , winter is here like it or not.

So it’s a great day to make Chile.  If you make it today it will be better tomorrow .      Or make it tomorrow early and it will still be good.

Now , I’m sure everyone has their own recipe that they like best.

Well here is mine and maybe you can try it or take some ideas from it to JAZZ up your own.

Pretty simple,     you can throw all this into a    4- 5 qt crock pot , set the timer and fahgetaboutit.

Or  put it all in a stock pot that you will have to stir every time you get up to get a beer while you are laying around watching movies or the game  all day.

( This is the best way. I don’t know why but it tastes alot better )

…… hey,   whatya   gonna do ? 

 

1 – 2 lb. hamburger – browned

1 large onion – chopped , mix with

1 green pepper  – diced,  sauté both  in hamburger grease.

Add

2 cans dark kidney beans – drained ,  rinsed

2 cans light kidney beans – drained rinsed
