It's cooling down...


Here where we live, we are expecting the weather to dip at or below freezing this week, so I'm starting to think of cool weather foods. I thought I'd pass along my chili recipe. It's really tasty on a cold winter night.

Chili
1 lb. browned ground turkey or beef
2 Tbsp. instant minced onion
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 ½ Tbsp. minced garlic (opt’l)
1 Tbsp. hot pepper flakes (opt’l)
Pinch of sugar
15 oz can tomato sauce
15 oz can kidney beans

Brown one pound of ground turkey or beef. Drain off excess fat. Sprinkle seasonings over the meat, stirring well. Add one 15 oz. can tomato sauce, ¼ c. water, and one 15 oz. can undrained kidney beans. Simmer uncovered. Serve hot.

Note: I will make a triple batch of chili and freeze in individual freezer bags for other meals.
