The Perfect Chili Recipe.....

So here is another easy, yummy and inexpensive dinner recipe for you to try courtesy of my favorite blog oh happy day. I have made a lot of chili recipes before, but once I tried this one, I have never made any other since! It is perfect! I like to make this one in the crock pot in the morning so it is ready by dinner time. Today is cold and rainy where I am, so this just sounded perfect for tonight. I am also going to be making corn bread because you just can't have chili without corn bread. I am posting the recipe below, most of the items you will already have in your pantry, another thing I love about this recipe!



Pepper's Famous Chili

1lb. ground beef
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans with liquid
1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans with liquid
1/2 c. diced onion
1/4 c. diced celery
2 med. tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp. cumin
1 T. chili powder (2 T. if you like it hot)
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
1 c. water

Brown beef and drain liquid. Crumble beef and put into a large pot mix in all other ingredients. Cook over low heat stirring every 15 to 20 mins. for 2 to 3 hours. (You could also use a slow cooker.)
