Rainy Day Chili
"This is an easy to throw together chili. I know there are a gazillion chili recipe's out there, but this my family's fave. Usually I just make this for me and my DF, but if you double the recipe its great for the whole family. (note the ounces on the can are guess, just use whatever size can is common at the grocery store)"

This is a good, easy, basic chili recipe. I doubled this to make enough for my family. Even though I added chopped onions, I found this to be quite bland..... like eating plain beans and ground beef. I added garlic, cumin, thyme, cilantro and 15 oz of tomato sauce (after taking the photo) and that did the trick. So the photo is without my additions. I then let it simmer for an additional 15 minutes and it was great..... and not much more effort than the original recipe. Thanx for sharing!

<p>In general, cooking is a passion and a hobby. I love to try new recipes and I love it even more when a new recipe comes out spectacular. I work full time, and am a wife and mother, so sometimes cooking becomes a chore. I try to keep it fresh by planning out the week in meals, trying a new recipe a week, and cooking enough to freeze dinners for those evenings with a tight schedule.</p>
