Homemade Chili
"Any time I see beef on sale, I think chili. This recipe comes together very easily and can be modified to fit your needs. I wrote an hour cook time but as long as you do not allow the chili to thicken too much and stick to the bottom of the pot, you can simmer for as long as necessary. If the chili does start to stick, add a cup of water at a time until it loosens. I served with a steam in the bag portion of Spanish rice and it was delicious! Feel free to garnish with whatever you like including cheese and sour cream."

I make the same chili as you but I add chopped red,green,yellow and halipino peppers. Then let it simmer for 3 hours and if it starts to get too thick I add 4 tablespoons of beef broth to it. If I am serving it right away at a Bar B Q I add also 1 (only) bottle lf beer.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I just started cooking a few years ago when I moved out of my parents' house, but I am really getting the hang of it! Food Network is constantly playing in the background at my house. I love Alton Brown because he explains why a recipe or ingredient works the way it does. I rely on Rachel Ray for simple recipes that I can easily build on or alter.
