Hurry Up Chili

"This is really good chili, but it's quick and easy. Just act like you have been in the kitchen all day! My husband has high blood pressure so I don't usually add salt during the cooking process, letting people add salt to their own taste at the table. For a low fat entree, use the ground turkey. This is a great meal on a cold winter's night with a salad and some cornbread."

directions

  • Chop the onion into medium fine pieces.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 6 quart pot.
  • Add the chopped onion and the ground meat.
  • Cook until the meat is thoroughly done and the onion is soft, mashing with a potato masher during the cooking process so that the ground meat is in finely chopped pieces.
  • Add the drained kidney beans, the tomatoes with their liquid, the tomato soup, the water, the chili powder and the minced garlic.
  • (Add the cumin, cilantro, and Tabasco if a hotter, spicier taste is desired.) Stir well to mix thoroughly.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes until the desired consis- tency is reached and the flavors have mingled.
  • Add more water if needed, and stir occasionally during the cooking process so the chili doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot as it thickens.
  • **We love garlic and use so much, that I keep a jar of minced garlic in the refrigerator at all times.
  • It really is a time saver.

As you can tell, I'm from Georgia---a rather tattered old Southern Belle by now, but still feisty, I'll have you know!! I've been married to the same DH for 35 years, and we have two sons. My sweet and lovely stepdaughter has given us two little grand- daughters who are the lights of our lives. We had an antique shop for 7 years back in the late 80's, and I think we are getting back into the Biz next month--not a regular shop again, but just doing some of the shows once or twice a month. I love to read(I collect biographies),do needlepoint and cross-stitch, go antiqueing, and visit the grandbabies. My very favorite cookbook is "The Joy of Cooking" by Irma Rombauer. I got it at my first bridal shower, and it's still the best for just basic good cooking. I have tried to get rid of most of my pet peeves in the hope that other people will overlook my many faults if I overlook theirs--that's not to say that I don't want to scream at people who are in the turn lane and don't watch for the turn arrow, but, hey, I have my windows rolled up and they can't hear me, can they?? Since we are retired, I have the month off thingie, but if I had the $$$, I would take the train ride across Canada from Montreal to British Columbia, visit with I hope our-soon-to-be in-laws in Vancouver, drive down the Cali- fornia coast to visit relatives in San Diego then drive across the U.S. stopping to see whatever we wanted to see.
