Chili My Way

I know everyone has their own chili recipe and that's why they have these things called chili cook-off's but I decided to share my simple, non-fancy recipe that's oh-so-easy and of course, husband-approved.

What you'll need:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2-3 tomatoes diced (or a can of diced tomatoes)
• 1 green bell pepper (chopped up)
• 1 large can of pinto beans
• Taco seasoning

Brown the ground beef in a pot (drain the grease if you want to be healthy). Add bell peppers and cook for a few minutes. Add diced tomatoes and pinto beans and simmer for 20-30 minutes (until the tomatoes are all soft and squishy looking). Add taco seasoning to taste (usually I do about 2-3 tablespoons but sometimes I wing it and just shake the whole container over the chili until it looks orange-y enough....Which sometimes results in super spicy chili). Serve with some grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and corn bread.

See? How simple was that... And the beautiful thing is that you can tweak it however you want. My husband and I happen to super dislike kidney beans so guess what? I don't use kidney beans. But this is definitely a basic start that you can make fancy or you can just stick to this recipe and have a meal ready in 30 minutes.
