DOWN AND DIRTY GARLIC CHILI



Down and Dirty Garlic Chili image

This recipe is something I will whip together on nights when spaghetti just won't cut it, but time is a commodity worth more than gold. There are only two in my family, but that just means plenty of yummy leftovers. Serve this chili with cheese on top and a thick slice of homemade sourdough bread and you've got a winner. The measurements are approximations since I'm more of a shake and dab type of cook, but this is generally right. This gives more kick than you might think, so be lenient with the pepper flakes if you are serving kids!

1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
16 oz bush's best chili beans (one can)
8 oz hunt's tomato sauce (one can)
14 1/2 oz hunt's tomatoes petite diced (one can)
1/4 c chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin

  • 3. Add the ground sirloin, and cook until browned.
  • 4. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic, and cayenne pepper, and stir until the spices begin to bloom, about 2 minutes.
  • 5. Chef's Note: I really, really, really, like Mexene Chile Powder... It's really got great flavor.
  • 6. Add the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans, and water. Stir to combine.
  • 7. Allow to simmer, uncovered for about an hour... two if you have the time.
  • 8. Chef's Note: If you want to thicken up the sauce a bit, and add some flavor... Take a tablespoon or two of masa (ground corn) about thirty minutes into the simmer...
  • 9. Serve with sour cream, cheese, and some crackers, or homemade bread.
  • 10. It's down... It's dirty... But it tastes great on a cold Autumn's evening.
