Chili recipes???

We do chili with ground hamburger meat...I know...plain jane!

Brown 2 lbs of hamburer meat, drain and set aside.

Use about a tablespoon of veg oil, add 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic, one small onion chopped and cook till tender.

Add hamburger meat, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 2 small cans tomato sauce, 1 can of crushed tomatoes, salt & pepper (to taste) and 3 tablespoons of sugar. If you want beans, add 1 can (drained)

Heat to boil and turn to low. Cover and simmer.

If you like it really hot, add 1/2 jabenero pepper.

Simmer about 1 - 1 1/2 hours on low. Add about 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and mix well.

I know it doesn't sound as good as it tastes, but you'll be surprised...

Along with the garlic, chili powder, cumin and other usual spices.... add a little pinch of cinnamon and cocoa (dark bakers chocolate powder). Not a lot. Just enough to bring a rich undercurrent to the sauce.

I worked in catering for years, so I have tons of recipes, but it seems like I got that idea from the book Like Water for Chocolate.
