What do a cold winter’s day, watching Sunday afternoon football and poker night with the gang all have in common? They all go swimmingly with a bowl of hot chili!! Whether you are ladling your chili over spaghetti, showering the top with corn chips or perhaps the more traditional approach – a sprinkle of some sharp shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream alongside a slice of warm crusty bread, the following chili recipe is sure to please:
2lb hamburger (80%Lean)
2 large yellow onions
4 cloves of garlic minced
4 chopped celery stalks
5 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons worchester sauce
1 cup red wine
1 teaspoon cumin
2 16 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes
2 cans of dark red kidney beans (16 ounce cans)
½ stick unsalted butter
Sauté meat, onions and garlic. Add tomatoes, celery, chili powder, salt, pepper, sugar, worchester sauce, cumin and red wine and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Add beans cook for another ½ hour. Add ½ stick of butter until melted and serve
