super easy chili
i tricked up a Pampered Chef recipe last night (read: i only had half of the PC ingredients and wanted meat in the chili), because i didn’t want to go grocery shopping but figured we should eat. here’s the final recipe, after i added my magic.
what you need:
1-1.5 lbs. lean ground beef
1 bell pepper (i used yellow, red would be good, green would be yucky because i don’t like those)
1 medium yellow onion
2 cans of Rotel (next time i’ll use one original and one extra hot)
1 small can of tomato paste
2 tomato paste cans full of water
(the recipe called for a 28-oz. can of diced tomatoes and a regular can of tomato sauce, but i didn’t have any of that)
2 cans of dark red kidney beans (i used Bush’s, and the recipe called for black beans)
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1 Tbsp. chili powder (i just shook and shook and shook the jar until it added enough red)
salt & pepper to taste
lots of crushed red pepper
sour cream or cheese and cilantro to taste
what you do:
brown the meat & saute the onion & pepper with the meat. drain most of the fat. add all the other stuff & mix well. simmer over low heat for a while. add a dollop of sour cream or some grated cheese, and throw on a little cilantro if you like.
it’s not bad.

May 20th, 2005 at 9:36 amWelcome to The Fortieth Edition of The Carnival of The Recipes. I’d like to thank Beth for signing me up to host this thing and for coming up with the great blog recipe swap in the first place. Don’t forget…
Um, pardon moi, but maybe, just maybe, these recipes are contributing to above-mentioned saddlebags?
Just sayin.
Eat salads or something. You are a great cook, but FOR NOW, go easy, lil woman!
May 20th, 2005 at 10:00 amThanks! Sounds good; ever since I bought a condo with a decent sized kitchen I’ve actually been using these strange “pots” and “pans” that a female friend insisted I have. I’ll have to try your receipe. I do like a good chili (went to the DC Chili cook-off here last weekend and gorged on chilis!)

A truly great Kitchen Implement that warms its scoop while you hold it.
A friend of mine has the Stone Pizza Wheel and swears by it!
