Cheatin' Chili
from The Starving Students' Cookbook: Revised
by Dede Hall
Serves 2-3
Large Saucepan With Lid
Top of Stove
High to Low Heat
NEED:
1 tablespoon VEGETABLE OIL
1/2 pound GROUND BEEF
1 ONION, chopped
1 clove GARLIC, minced
1/4 GREEN BELL PEPPER, chopped
1 can (15-ounce) CHILI
1 can (15-ounce) KIDNEY BEANS
1 15-ounce can CRUSHED TOMATOES (don't use stewed tomatoes)
1 16-ounce jar SALSA (mild or hot, as you like it)
1/2 cheap RED WINE
SALT, PEPPER
STEP 1: Heat oil in large saucepan on high heat. Add ground beef, onion and garlic. Stir and cook until meat is crumbly and browned. (Drain off excess grease into an old can to discard later.)
STEP 2: Add rest of ingredients and stir well. When chili starts to boil turn heat to lowest setting. Cover pan and cook slowly for at least 1/2 hour. Be sure to stir a couple of times during cooking.
If you have the time, cooking for 2 to 3 hours allows flavors to blend for an even better taste.
