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. 🙂
