Chili : Hubby's version

The other day, hubby and I went grocery shopping to buy the stuff that we needed for chili. I haven't make a chili from scratch before since we only buy those already in the can or ready to heat and eat. This time, hubby was determined to cook his own version of chili.

Ingredients:

2 lbs.lean ground beef
coarsely chopped onion
2 cloves of chopped garlic
1/2 tbsp of ground hot red chile
2 1/2 tbsp ground mild chile
1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
1(15oz) can tomato sauce
1(28oz) can peeled whole tomatoes
1(16oz) can pinto/kidney beans (rinsed)



It turned out so good and delicious. Everyone has a different version of it. It depends on what on  your creativity and taste preference. You can also add vegetable like green bell pepper or  more chile (hot/mild) if you want to make it more spicy. And for a healthier chili, buy a more combination of coarse-ground beef and hamburger-ground chuck. That way, some of the meat remains in a larger pieces once browned. Happy Eating!
