Today I was off and I have spent the day wanted to cook something yummy! Well if you know anything about me, I love to cook and I can say I do a pretty good job. I decided today, since I really don't usually have a lot of time, to cook something yummy! What to cook? This is always my dilemma! I thought I will share my recipe with you.
Although a lot of my friends like my chicken recipe, I am going to go with a Chili this time. Here the temperature is a bit cool and cloudy, a little damp; perfect Chili weather! This chili recipe I learned from a good friend of mine. I have been thinking about her a lot lately and I really miss her. She called it her Mom's Chili Recipe. It is a sweet chili and you can fix it with spaghetti or by itself. It is incredible if you like sweet chili! Enjoy!
The ingredients are:
3lbs of ground beef (prefer ground sirloin)
3 cans of tomato soup
5 tbsp of chili powder
1 tbsp of cumin (ground)
1 small onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped (optional)
2/3 cup of sugar
1 can of pinto beans (if you like beans in your chili)
**If you like you chili hot add any "heat" that you prefer
In a saucepan brown your ground beef. Then add your onions, peppers and let them cook for a few minutes until onions are translucent. Stir frequently. Add the three cans of soup and two and a half cans of water. Use the cans of soup to measure the water. Stir and add the chili powder, cumin, sugar, beans ( if you want) and any source of "heat" that you prefer at this time. Once again stir and let it cook in medium low for about 20 minutes. Stir a few times througout the 20 minutes. It is a really good recipe. It serves around 6-8 people?
I thought I would write about something I love to do and share it. Off to cook! Talk to you guys later!

Can I subsitute something for the ground beef? I don't eat red meat...Any suggestions?
I have made it with ground turkey too! I am not sure about ground chicken but it is worth a try.
Helen-Ground chicken works just like ground turkey, which works just like ground beef. If you like the "fake" ground beef-Boca brand, you can also use that instead.
