1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 clove minced garlic
1 16 oz can tomatoes, cut up
1 16 oz can dark red kidney beans, drained
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 teaspon dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon cumin
1 bay leaf1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cook the meat, onion, green pepper and garlic until the meat is brown. Drain
off any fat. Stir in the undrained tomatoes, and remaining ingredients. Bring
to boil then reduce heat and simmer.
Guaranteed to work!

My mom's chili
Hey Hippie,
This is really basic. Not at all authentic Texas-style, but it's what I grew up on (not in Texas, lol) and easy to put together. You might want to double it if you are serving 5-6 people, so you have leftovers. I am actually making this tonight for dinner, so if you need metric sizes on the canned stuff, I have just put them into the recycling.
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
Brown the ground beef, and then add the vegetables. Saute till vegies are softened. Add a 14 oz. can of chopped tomatoes and 2 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce. Add about 1 tbsp. chili powder.
Cook about 1 hr. Add a 15 oz. can of chili beans or kidney beans, then cook another 1/2 hr.
Serve with my famous Cornbread -- the recipe is already on the Recipe Corner thread.
Enjoy!

It's funny you should mention celery CS. My brother used that in a spag bol a few weeks back. Never thought of using celery in anything other than salads!
p.s. I'm now cooking Wednesday night instead!!lol
Love hips

Hippie - make it today! (Tuesday for me). It'll taste better tomorrow. I do my rice in the microwave - wash it, twice as much boiling water to rice, and in the microwave for 18 mins @ 70% power.
I hope it goes well and you have a great night.

Hippie, the celery is ridiculously inauthentic. My husband hates it (but he's not from Texas, either). I do like the crunch that it adds. At any rate, the pot of chili is almost gone tonight, so it ain't that bad! I have never heard of celery in a bolognese sauce, though.

Iad - I confess!! I have often bought Hormel (I like the "hot")... and it really is pretty good!
You forgot instructions: Dump in small pot, heat, dump in bowl. Add hot sauce, if desired! If for company (!!), add dollop of sour cream & fresh cilantro on top!
