When I get a craving for hot or spicy food I always turn to chili because its easy to make and you make enough to have left overs for a couple days. There are thousands of recipes for chili with numerous variations in ingredients. The key is to continue to try out chili recipes and find the one that is best for you. I don't like very hot/spicy chili but I like there to be a little bit of a kick. I found this recipe to be perfect for my taste, however if you like your chili very spicy you may want to try a different variation.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 large red onions, chopped
5 Tbsp chopped jalapeno chilies with seeds
8 garlic cloves, chopped
2 1/3 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup chili powder
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet paprika
1, 28 oz can diced tomatoes in juice
2, 15 1/4 oz cans kidney beans, drained
1, 14 oz can beef broth
Additional:
sour cream
grated cheddar cheese
chopped green
chopped fresh cilantro
Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, saute 6 minutes. Add jalapenos and garlic, saute 1 minute. Add beef, saute, break up with fork, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin and paprika. Then mix in tomatoes with juices, beans, and broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chili thickens, stir occasionally, about 45 minutes. Skim any fat from surface of chili. Ladle chili into bowls. Serve with sour cream, cheese, green onions, cilantro and fresh bread.
Cover leftovers and refrigerate.
Welcome to my cooking page!
I started cooking with my step-mother one summer when I was home from college. We traded off days on who would cook. I would find delicious recipes and prepare them for my family with great anticipation. Now out of college and in a home of my own I cook for my husband. My husband is not originally from America. He is from Morocco and it has allowed me to expand my cooking interests to international dishes. I hope that you enjoy the recipes and experiences that I will share with you!

Save Money by Cooking with a Crock-pot
First introduced in 1971, the Crock-Pot revolutionized the way we cook meals. The word Crock-Pot is actually trademarked by Rival Industries, but is used in every day conversations instead of the term slow cooker. Many recipes for the crock-pot require little preparation. The slow cooker can then safely be left to run unattended, making it a convenient cooking method.
Crock-pot meals can not only save you time in the kitchen, but they can also save you money as well. The reasons are as follows:
1. It keeps you out of the fast food line. If you had not loading up the crock-pot with the ingredients this morning you’d likely be in the drive through line at the local fast food restaurant this afternoon after work, grabbing a meal for your family. The average fast food meal for a family of four rings up over $20.
2. Stretches your dollar. Most crock-pot recipes and meals can truly stretch your food dollar. Because you can put a whole chicken in the crock-pot to cook then cut it up for several meals, you can stretch your budget with the use your leftovers.
3. Cuts your grocery budget. You can save money at the butcher since the slow cooking process is especially useful to tenderize cheaper cuts of meat.
4. Saves on your energy bill. Instead of running a larger appliance like the stove you are running one small energy conservative appliance, the crock-pot, saving on your energy costs.
The convenience of the slow cooker not only saves you time, but will also save you money. Don't you think it's time to take it out of your closet (or wherever you have it packed away collecting dust) and make a Crock-Pot meal today?
