Dear Somebody,

and I thought “Hey, this is pretty much the easiest, and most delicious recipe ever… Why not share it with the world?”  

I make chili very regularly, cause it’s easy, healthy, it’s great leftovers, super easy to freeze for quick lunches to take to work, and there are minimal dishes to do afterwards!

So here it is, my no-fail, uber-delicious chili recipe!

Ingredients:

-500g of ground beef (or turkey, chicken, or pork, whatever you like!)

-Veggies: 1/2 an onion, 1/2 each of a red and green pepper, 3 stalks of celery, 6-8 large button mushrooms.  All of these should be coarsely chopped.

- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced. 

- 3 cloves of garlic, finely diced

- 1 large can of whole tomatoes (Make sure you grab the whole tomatoes, they are more flavourful than the pre-diced ones. I use a knife to cut them up a bit in the can before I dump them in.

- 1 medium sized can of red kidney beans

- 1 medium sized can of beans with pork and tomato sauce

- 1 tsp of onion powder

- 4 tsp of chili powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

Saute the beef and onion in a large pot over medium heat, until almost no pink is left in the meat. Add the rest of the veggies and the jalapeno and saute for 3-4 mins to soften the veggies a bit.

Add the cans of tomatoes, and both beans as well as the spices. Stir it all up, and let it simmer on the stove for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I like to serve mine with some whole grain toast with a bit of butter. Yum yum!

So there you have it tumblr. Jessica’s no-fail chili recipe. You can add whatever other veggies you like, make it a little more/less spicy (this one is pretty average spiciness) but it’s a great base recipe for a delicious dinner! Enjoy!
