Chili

mmmm yumm! Chili, my family LOVES Chili. I don't know how anyone can eat the canned stuff, ok yes I've had it before and on a hot dog it's not too bad, but I could never sit and eat a bowl of it.

I came across a recipe for Chili about 2 years ago on my favourite recipe site, Recipezaar. As usual I didn't follow it exactly, but used it as a good inspiring recipe to make my own. And it is soooooo good!

I make it in my slow cooker, but do it on the stove if you don't have one or if you prefer. Oh, and btw, this makes one big slow cooker full, it fills my 8 quart slow cooker and feeds my family of 4 for 2 meals sometimes with leftovers even after that.

1 giant bulk pack lean ground beef

2 large onions

4 cloves garlic

2x 398ml cans of tomato sauce

2x 156ml cans of tomato paste

796ml can of whole tomatoes

398ml can of diced tomatoes

2 1/2 tsp cumin

2 1/2 tsp paprika

1 1/2 to 2 tbsp Chili Powder

2 1/2 tsp Oregano

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp pepper

3 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Saute meat, onions and garlic. Add to slow cooker when done.

Add all remaining ingredients, give it a good stir, cook on low for 8 hours.

You can add a can or two of chili beans if you wish, my family does not really care for beans so I leave them out.
