It's starting to get cold outside! It's the time of year for soup and chili, and I could not be more excited! Here's an easy recipe for super yummy chili that only takes about 35 minutes start to finish.
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 small sweet bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped (I only used half)
- 1 can red beans (undrained)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1-3 tsps. chili powder (optional, depending how much of a kick you want)
- basil
- pepper
- parsley
Instructions:
Drizzle some oil in the bottom of a large saucepan or soup pot.
Add onion and bell pepper.
Saute for about 3-4 minutes.
Add ground beef, pepper, basil, and parsley, and cook until brown. (If you are making rice or cornbread, now is the time to start it.)
Drain.
Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chili powder. I also added more parsley and basil.
Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The end result should look something like this:
Serve in a bowl with rice, cornbread, or crackers. It also makes an awesome lunch the next day!
Serves about 6.
