CHILI
2-lbs hamburger
2-bell peppers (large diced)
2-onions (large diced)
2-29oz can tomato sauce
1-29oz can Rotel tomato
1-29 oz can diced tomato
1-can tomato paste
1-lb fresh mushrooms (sliced)
5-10 garlic cloves
3-4 oz chili powder
4-5 tsp cumin
Tabasco
Cinnamon (dash)
I make this in an 8 quart pot
Saute garlic in a little oil. Add onion and cook a few minutes. Remove from pot. Brown meat ½ way. Add peppers. Finish browning meat. Add onion/garlic. Mix. Add tomatoes. Mix well. Add chili powder and cumin. Mix well. Simmer on low for ½ hour. Add sliced mushrooms. Simmer on low for an hour.
Here is where you add chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, Tabasco, cinnamon (just a dash) to taste.
This is not hot chili. Add cayenne or whatever for heat.
Logitech’s chili recipe is the best chili I have ever eaten (he’s my husband, so I’ve had it numerous times, but I don’t say this just because he’s my husband :-). I would say it’s the perfect chili. Goes great with some nice cornbread and some cool weather.
Add the powered spices while frying the meat/onions/garlic. The hot oil “blooms” their flavors.
