This was my reaction, this evening, when making chili on this cold, gloomy, winter evening.  I’ve made chili before, but the aroma and flavor weren’t quite right.  I was a little extra generous in some ingredients this time, which lead to a familiar aroma instead of a knock-off sort of smell.

Also, it helps that Rev. Husband added green peppers and chopped dried red peppers.

Here’s the gallery of tonight’s cooking endeavor:

Yum-o!

Here’s my recipe:

• One pound of browned ground beef
• One can tomato sauce
• One can diced tomatoes
• One can chili beans
• Garlic powder to taste
• Onion powder to taste
• Chili powder to taste
• A couple splashes of Worcestershire sauce
• One chopped green onion
• Two chopped dried red pepper

Mix ingredients together into a large pot; heat on medium for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 🙂
