Chili

Here's my simple, but oh so good chili recipe. I am including two variations. Both may be prepared without meat, if desired. Find more great, easy meals at Overwhelmed.

Chili 1
Sort, rinse and soak in lots of water six cups of beans overnight. I use pinto, kidney, pink and navy. Then rinse, add new water and about 1 Tbsp. salt and bring to a boil and softly boil, covered, until tender.

If you forget to soak them, you can sort and rinse, then cover with a lot of water and bring to a boil for three or four hours, till they are tender.

Cook 1 1/2 lb hamburger seasoned with pepper, 4 Tbsp. chili powder,
2 cloves minced garlic and about 1/4 cup chopped onion. Drain only if REALLY greasy.

When beans are ready, drain and return to pot. Add the seasoned meat and 4 18 oz. cans of tomato sauce. You can add a can of diced tomatoes and a can of Mexican stewed tomatoes if you wish. My family doesn't like the chunks of tomato, so if I add these, I puree them in the Vitamix. Bring back to a boil and then cover, and lower heat to simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour, while you are making cornbread. Serve topped with shredded cheese.

If you are short on time:

Chili 2
Cook 1 1/2 lbs hamburger with 4 Tbsp chili powder and, if you wish, garlic, onion, salt, pepper.

When cooked, drain and rinse well, then add:

2 cans pinto beans
2 cans kidney beans
2 can white or pink beans
and
4 (15 oz) cans of tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes (optional)
1 can Mexican stewed tomatoes (optional)

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for one hour. Serve with shredded cheese.

Hope you enjoy it!

Chili and milk

We love chili, too, and I will be preparing a HUGE pot of it early Saturday morning (MOVING DAY!!!) so we can just transport it from here........to there and anyone who wants can eat. Hopefully we will have a few burly 'helpers' here to help with the heavy stuff.....and I simply LOVE the sweetened condensed milk recipe.....I have looked for one for awhile now. THANKS for passing that one on!!! I'm new here and I've added you to my friends list. Stop by my blog sometime and see how our new place in the country shapes up!

There were a few recipes I know I will have to try...I like the condensed milk and the cream of...recipes. I've omited many recipes because they call for the creamed soups and I just don't want to add those to my family's meals. The energy breakfast bars and the your dh's muffins look perfect for this family....
I'm adding you to my friends list...
