Chili

Hope the rain didn't get anyone down today, it's almost Friday. Tonight I made chili, this is the chili my mom has been making me since I was little and have always loved. She kind of gave me the recipe, she told me everything that was in it and when I asked her how much she told me to eyeball it, this only works if you're not baking FYI. I paired my chili with my favorite...grilled cheese!

Chili

• 2lbs Ground beef 
• 2 Cans kidney beans
• 1 Can stewed tomatoes (homemade is the best)
• 1 Can tomato sauce 
• 1 Can tomato paste 
• 1 Tbs onion
• 1/2 Cup chili powder 
• 1 Tbs garlic powder 
• 2 Tbs sugar 
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Brown the ground beef before putting in the slow cooker. I did not freeze this meal because of all of the juice. I do not drain any of my beans for this recipe. Cook on low for 8 hours. 

This meal is a wonderful addition to a a dreary and even a cold day. The soup had a mild kick to it and full of flavor. My great-grandmother turns 90 on Thursday and we are going to celebrate tomorrow, Pressure cooker meals start Thursday. The first meal will be Beer Braised Chicken, see you Thursday!
