Stovetop Chili
Who doesn’t love chili on a cold winter’s day? Okay, granted it was an unseasonable 60 degrees yesterday but it’s February so let’s pretend we’re huddled inside on a cold, snowy day. Lately I’ve been making a delicious turkey chili (recipe on that coming in the future) but for today I wanted to revisit my old chili favorite from a recipe my aunt gave me years ago. You can use any meat for this chili and normally my aunt does turkey but for these photos (the last time I made this recipe) I used meatloaf mix. It’s something different than turkey and meatloaf mix is nice because it’s a mix of ground beef, veal, and pork so it’s not too dry and has a lot of flavor.
For this recipe, I chop up 1 large clove of garlic, 1 medium onion, and 1 green pepper.
Then, I brown the meat (about 2 lbs of meat), onion, garlic, and pepper.
Add in chili powder (1/4 – 1/3 cup), salt (1 ½ tsp), and peeled whole tomatoes (28 oz can). Bring the chili to a boil and then simmer for 1 hour. Add in the kidney beans (2 cans) and stir in until warm and then serve and enjoy!

My mom’s chili recipe is awesome. She wrote it down for me years ago & I misplaced it. It’s somewhere in my apartment. Hopefully I’ll find it when I pack up to move later this year. I can’t ask for it again because she died 5 years ago. 🙁
