Chili – a Superbowl Sunday treat!

February 5th, 2010

Chili is a dish that is always better after a day or two. Make some ahead of Superbowl Sunday and you’ll be able to sneak some vegetables into the traditional Superbowl lineup of fried foods!

2 pounds ground beef
one large can tomato sauce
one  can kidney beans (with liquid)
one  can pinto beans (with liquid)
1 cup diced onion (1 medium onion)
1 finely chopped jalepeno pepper
1/4 cup diced celery (1 stalk)
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin powder
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups water

Brown beef, and drain off excess fat.

Add remaining ingredients and stir. Simmer for 2 -3 hours.

Serve on it’s own, over rice, or with tortilla chips and cheddar cheese as garnish!

I usually double the chili powder and use 2 – 3 jalepenos. Perhaps that’s why this chili is credited as inducing labour for two of my pregnant girlfriends!
