From geeimjo 13 years agoIngredients
- 454g (1 lb) lean ground beef or turkey or tofu shopping list
- 1 TBSP Knorr bouillon - chicken, beef or veg all work equally well shopping list
- 1 large onion shopping list
- 1 whole garlic (8+ cloves) shopping list
- 454g (1 lb) fresh mushrooms (optional but recommended) shopping list
- 8 sweet red peppers - the pointed variety are tastier shopping list
- 1 16oz (500ml) jar of tomato sauce (better quality or your own) shopping list
- 1 16oz (500ml) can of kidney beans ( or cook your own in advance) shopping list
- 2-3 heaping TBSP chili powder - generous amount, adjust to taste - i use the no name brand from Loblaws, because, believe it or not, it is perfect for this dish shopping list
- ground black pepper to taste shopping list
- cayenne to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Saute onions and garlic in pan until glassy, then add meat or tofu, and bouillon.
- Add sliced mushrooms (optional)
- Cook until meat is done, or until liquid has evaporated from tofu - tofu takes longer
- While meat is cooking, process peppers in food grinder (processor would work too)
- Pour peppers, tomato sauce and beans into a large pot
- Add chili powder, pepper and meat to bean mixture or to meat
- If you like your chili spicy, add cayenne - be careful - very little goes a long way!
- Simmer for 30 minutes at least - the longer, the tastier.
- You can adjust almost all the ingredient amounts in this recipe, mine is never exactly the same twice. I sometimes add celery, also processed in the food grinder
