"Baby, it's cold outside" -
...time for Chili.
But wherever you are, in warm or cold weather, Chili's a winner!
Recipes once were more strictly regional, while today more of a mix.
Bloggers' chili recipes are sure to be less regional as well, not to mention that most everyone has their own special way of making it.
While whipping up a pot of chili this cold, snowy morning i used recipe tips from a number of different recipes as well as from personal taste and what was on hand.
RECIPE:
Brown some ground beef -season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano and a dash of cider vinegar.
Add diced onion, green pepper, celery, grape tomatoes, and garlic.
Add chicken stock, water and a little white wine (or a combination), cover, then simmer until veggies are cooked.
How much liquid you use depends on how thick you like your Chili.
Add tomato sauce.
Season again - to taste - then simmer 30 minutes or longer.
Add pureed cooked kidney beans(drained & rinsed),
then simmer 10 more minutes.
(Quantities of each ingredient are determined by the cook's taste.)
Serve hot over corn bread and topped with cheese of choice.
It's good !!!
How do you make your Chili ???
