Halloween Chili Recipe

This is recipe for the chili from our Halloween party last night.

1-2 lbs lean ground beef
1 can kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic
28 oz can diced tomatoes
8 oz can tomato sauce (may need 2 cans)
Salt & pepper
1/2 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp ground red pepper
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp oregano

Cook meat & onion in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, 8-10 minutes. Drain the fat. Add all ingredients together in large pot & cook for 1 hour (or more). When the beans are tender, it's done. Or cook in your crockpot on low for 6-8 hours.

Ghoulia's notes: I use a lot of garlic. I throw a couple of minced cloves in while I'm browning the meat, than I add more once it's all in the pot. Also, for whatever reason, this is better if it sits in your fridge overnight. I always make it the night before, put it in the fridge, then cook it the next day.

Bon appetit!
