My Mom's Chili


I think everyone loves to eat a nice bowl of hot chili on a cold day. I know I do. Actually I can eat chili any time of year. But because the weather seems to be cooling off I thought this would be nice to post for anyone looking to warm up during the fall and winter months.

What you need

1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 medium green pepper (diced)
1 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
4 cans chili beans
3 can diced tomatoes
Spaghetti
3 bags bloomers Chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

Brown ground beef in large pot. Dice green pepper, onion and garlic and then add in with ground beef. Cook until no longer pink and if you wish drain off any excess grease. Then add your beans and tomatoes. Fill bean cans with water and add to pot. Add chili powder salt and pepper and stir well. 

Place on medium high heat and start to boil and then turn to medium low and simmer. I like to cook mine for a couple hours. I feel like it deepens the flavor but you could skip that and just add the spaghetti once the chili starts to boil, stir frequently and cook till noodles are tender. Add as much spaghetti as you like I usually use about 1/2 a pound.

Serve with any toppings you like. My family likes cheese and crackers. I hope you enjoy this family recipe. Happy Cooking.
