Chili con carne

We all love a good pot of chili! Made with meat chunks or ground beef, chili is stewed with tomatoes, spices and kidney beans until savory and rich. To make a quick, homemade chili, sweat 3 chopped onions in a big pot along with 2 cloves of garlic, 2 sliced red bell peppers and 2 sliced carrots. Add 1 pound of ground beef, brown and then add 1 large can of chopped tomatoes and 1 can of kidney beans. Add 1 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin, season with salt and let cook on low heat for 45 to 50 minutes.
