EASY AND MILD CHILI

Steps:

• In a frying pan brown the beef with the onion and garlic over medium heat.
• Over medium heat add to a dutch oven or large pot all ingredients except beans. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon or your hand. I squeeze mine.
• Once the meat is ready, drain and add to the tomatoe mixture. Let simmer for an hour or so, add beans. Taste for seasonings. I usually let mine set on the stove on warm or low for a few hours to let the flavors meld. It is even better the next day.
• If you choose to use lean beef and no draining, just make it all in the dutch oven or large pot.

MILD & MEATY CHILI

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan or pot, brown ground beef with onion; drain. (While the beef is browning, chop veggies, etc.)
• Add remaining ingredients, EXCEPT kidney beans, to the ground beef and onion.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low.
• Cover and simmer for about 90 minutes. (stir occasionally to avoid any chili sticking on the bottom of the pot.).
• Stir in undrained kidney beans and simmer until heated through (about 15 minutes).
• **For a smoother chili (my preference) I pour the 28oz. can of tomatoes into my "ultmate chopper" (mini food processor) and blend em up. I also chop the onions and peppers quite small. This minimizes chunks which makes it more "kid-friendly.".

EASY & MILD CROCKPOT CHILI

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with onion powder & garlic.
• Place browned meat & the remaining ingredients (except beans) into the crockpot.
• Stir to ensure all ingredients are incorporated (mixed well).
• Cook on Low 6-10 Hours.
• Add Beans to the Chili 1/2-1 hour before the end of cooking (long enough to heat them through).
• Special Note: I have added the complete 6oz can of tomato paste (so as not to waste it) with no issues. You may want to add a bit more water if you do use the whole can. Also, I have used just kidney beans or just pintos or both (for a realy hearty chili). This is one of those recipes you can play around with and have little ill-effects.
• Also, I like to top ours with fresh grated cheddar cheese & a dollip of sour cream immediately before serving.
