My chili recipe

Nothing beats chili in the fall and winter.
With melted cheese on top
And fresh french bread buttered to perfection.
Posting this makes me want to go make a pot.
I make enough chili to freeze some for another meal.
It is a large batch but you can skip the pork n beans and corn and cut the meat in half to make it smaller.
I also am guessing at the amount of beef because I buy it in bulk, divide and freeze it when it's on sale.
Life on a budget is like that!
I use ground beef but I have made it with ground turkey and it turns out just as nice. We really only eat red meat a couple times a week and I prefer the hamburger so that's what I use. It's all about moderation really. Make it with whatever you like.

Chili

3-4 lbs of ground hamburger or turkey. Just buy the package in the store that's about 4 or 5 dollars and use 2 pkgs.
1 onion diced
2 cans of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato paste
2 cans of kidney beans, rinsed well.
1 can of pork and beans
1 can of corn. Sometimes I use frozen corn if I don't have canned.
2 red peppers or green or whatever you like, seeded and diced
1 jalepeno pepper seeded and diced if you like
1-2 tbsp of chili powder depending on how hot you like it

Fry hamburger and onion. Rinse and drain well. Throw it in a crock pot. Add remaining ingredients. Stir well to combine. Cook on low 6 - 8 hours or high 2-4 hours till heated throughly. Remember my crock pot is a demon and cooks super fast. I would guess those times are for normal crockpots that don't have a demon working them.
Serve with grated cheese or sour cream
I often make french bread or buns for it.
