Chili

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 lb ground italian sausage
• 3 x 15oz cans of chili beans, drained
• 2 x 28 oz cans of diced tomatoes
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 bell peppers, chopped
• 1 tbsp minced garlic, or 2 tsp garlic powder
• 3 cubes beef bouillon
• 3 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 3 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar

Directions:

1. Cook the ground meats, drain excess grease.
2. Add meat, beans, veggies, and spices to a large stockpot or crockpot.
3. Cook - If cooking in a stockpot: bring to a boil, then simmer for at least 1.5 hours. If cooking in a crockpot: cook for at least 2 hours on high, or 4 hours on low. You’ll need to stir occasionally for the first 30 minutes, but then the chili can be left alone to cook.

Notes:

• Feel free to adjust the spice mixture to your taste - add or subtract cayenne and chili powder to adjust heat.
