Chili

 This was my first time making chili on my own and it turned out pretty good. I only cooked it in the crock pot for a couple hours and it was alright (Though maybe you would only need 1 can of tomato sauce if you left it in all day, because it gets liquidy from the steam.). Also, if you're going to cook it for a short time in the crock pot, make sure to cook your onions with your ground beef because they tasted a little raw to me. 

We had this with a delicious side of corn bread. Because for me, corn bread and chili are a perfect combo.

1 lb ground beef

2 garlic cloves 

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

1 can kidney beans (drained)

1 can pinto beans (drained)

2 small cans tomato sauce

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 cup onion, diced (I used 1 small onion)

1/2 cup green pepper, diced (I used a whole green pepper)

2 TBS chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp basil

1/2 tsp oregano

1 dash worshestershire sauce

1.Brown ground beef in garlic.

2. Put everything in crockpot

3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (or on high for 4-5)*

4. Top with some cheese, sour cream and fritos.


** You could also cook this in a stock pot for 1.5 hours to avoid the raw onion taste, and everything would come together nicely.
