Does anyone have the Better Homes and Gardens "New" Cookbook from the early 90's

[Delighted3]

Mine is red plaid with blue letters and on the front a blue box with the words "New Cook Book" written in white. I have used the chili recipe on pg. 376 so much the page has fallen out and I can't find it. If anyone has this recipe, please post it for me. I just need the ingredients, not the directions.

Thanks,

Joy

I have the red plaid version with blue letters. I don't know the exact year mine was published, but this recipe was on page 376.

 

Chili

 

3/4 pound ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 16 oz can tomatoes, cut up

1 16 oz can dark red kidney beans, drained

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

2 to 3 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp dried basil crushed

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

 

HTH!

I have the Better Homes and Gardens cookbood from 1996 and the chili recipe is on page 461, but maybe most of it will be the same:

 

12 ounces ground beef

1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 14 1/2-ounce can tomatoes, cut up

1 15-ounce can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

1/4 teaspoon pepper

 

Hopefully someone with the actual edition you have will write, but if not maybe this will help.

Here you go;

 

12 ounces ground beef

1 cup chopped onion (1 large)

1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 14 1/2-ounce can tomatoes, cut up

1 15-ounce can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 8-ounce can tomato sauce

2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder

1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

1/4 teaspoon pepper

 

 

(Perhaps my version is slightly more recent as it was from p. 461 under Soups and Stews.)

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! That is the one. It makes a great basic chili recipe. I do use chili beans instead of red beans and I sometimes add some salsa and some other spices, but this is a great start for the consistency that we like.

Thanks again for your quick replies.
