Chili
I use this recipe to clean out the leftover meats in the fridge. Beef, pork and chicken all work well. If there’s no leftover meat in your fridge just brown up some ground beef.
In a skillet mix:
2 T oil ( olive is my choice )
1 onion diced
2 peppers diced
3 cloves garlic
1 T cumin
2 t coriander
1 t oregano
In a crockpot or slow cooker mix:
1/4 cup chili
1/2 pound ground or diced small leftover meat
2 15oz cans of kidney beans ( drain water first )
1 15oz can diced tomatoes
1 4 oz can tomato paste
2 T lime juice
1 bottle beer
Brown up the vegetables and add the mix to the crockpot and cook on the lowest setting at least 2 hours, 4 is better.
Top with grated cheddar cheese.
It is likely chili started in the south western part of the U.S. The chili pepper comes from Spain and earliest published accounts of chili are all from the U.S.
