Lauren's Bare Bones Chili

INGREDIENTS:

butter or olive oil
1 green pepper, chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 lb. or so of ground sirloin
1 lb. 13 oz. can of Goya brand red kidney beans (or similar product)
14 oz. can of Del Monte diced tomatoes with zesty jalepenos
three 8 oz. cans of Goya brand tomato sauce
1 clove garlic
1 packet McCormick mild chili seasoning mix
salt and pepper
sour cream and cheese for topping (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Saute green pepper and onion in frying pan with butter or olive oil. Add garlic.
2. Toss vegetables into large pot. Then brown the sirloin in the pan where the veggies were cooked.
3. Once meat is cooked, add to pot. Combine all ingredients in the large pot. Refridgerate overnight.
4. Heat and simmer. Serve with mucho gusto. What?

Of course, you don't have to let it sit overnight. It's really good either way.

And by the way, this recipe made me LOVE chili for some reason. It's simple but DELICIOUS!

Sweet! I make it a similar way, but I also add black beans, pinto beans and corn (all canned veggies). If you do this, you might have to use two cans on diced tomatoes instead of one.
