Hubby’s Simple Chili (very easy)

11May08

My husband is king chili maker and last night was one of the best, I’ve added his very own recipe :)

Ingredients

500g lean steak mince
2 cans chopped tomatoes
3 large onions
3 red and 3 green chillis
2 beef stock cubes
2 chicken stock cubes
5 cloves garlic
2 jars pinto beans (or kidney)
a lot of mild chilli powder… (personal taste)
teaspoon cumin
teaspoon oregano

optional: tomato puree, tomato ketchup, tobasco and a secret ingredient… Hubby has previously tried a cup of coffee, can of guiness, cup of coca cola, grated dark chocolate… just be adventurous to see if it changes the flavour any!

1. Finely chop onions, garlic and chilli and soften in the large pot you will be using for the the chili.
2. Add mince and brown.
3. Dissolve stock cubes and add.
4. Add everything else.
5. Simmer for 1 hour (or longer… depends on personal taste).
6. Chili can then be eaten with tortilla chips, on rice, on baked potato or like we did recently… in a tortilla wrap with salsa and grated cheese on top and baked. Yum!

* Please note chili tastes even better the next day, reheated!
