Best chili recipe??

[Anne]

I have agreed to make chili (to be served over baked potatoes) for a potluck-style dinner.

 

I rarely make chili, so I don't have a favorite recipe.

 

Anyone have a recipe they love??

Mine won a chili contest many years ago :)

 

Saute a chopped onion with fresh garlic or garlic powder and a pound of ground beef. When beef is cooked, add 2 cans of diced tomatoes with or without green chiles and 2 cans of dark red kidney beans. Also add one tbs cumin and two tbs chile powder. Let cook, covered, for about an hour, stirring every now and again. Take cover off and taste. I usually add another tbs of cumin and another 2 tbs of chile powder, as well as salt and pepper. Cook for another hour or so uncovered, stirring every once in a while. Sometimes I serve it with sour cream or Greek yogurt or grated cheddar. You can spice it up with hot sauce as well.

Everyone raves about this recipe. However you make it, I think adding a can or bottle of beer really improves the flavor and makes it special!

This is mine:

 

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

2 T cumin

1 T chili powder

1 large can of crushed tomatoes

3 cans of different kinds of beans (I don't love kidney beans in chili) and their liquid

1 can beef broth

1lb ground beef

 

Saute onions, garlic, and seasonings in your favorite oil until onions are soft. Add ground beef and brown. Add everything else. Cook for an hour. Serve over rice, with grated cheese.

3/4 tsp paprika

salt to taste

 

Cook and drain beef, add all ingredients, simmer until thickened.
