Chili
Make this with either ground beef or ground turkey. This recipe is fairly mild, but you can spice it up by adding additional chili powder, cumin, cayenne, or hot sauce.
2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lg. can crushed tomatoes
1 lg. can tomato sauce
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1 tsp. oregano
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ground beef and cook until completely browned. Drain the meat and break it into pieces if necessary. In a large stock pot, add the beef mixture and remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 to 2 hours. Serves 8 to 10.
