Tis the season for chili. We woke up to 13 degrees this morning and as Mike was going to be surveying outside all day, I would have chili ready when he gets home. Chili is not my favorite dish, but I do love this recipe.
In 1 Tbsp. of oil saute
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 # ground beef
until the beef is all browned.
In a small bowl mix
2 Tbsp. chili powder ******
5 tsp. flour
salt and pepper
and then add enough hot water to make a paste. Set aside.
Once the meat is browned add:
3 cans tomato soup
3 cans kidney beans, UNdrained
1 can diced tomatoes
Bring to a boil. Lower heat and stir in the chili powder mix until it is incorporated into the meat mixture.
Cover and let simmer at least 30 minutes.
Garnish with cheddar cheese or sour cream.
****** I like a lot more chili powder than this recipe calls for!
