Chili

Printable Recipe



Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup tomato juice (I just fill the tomato sauce can with water and call it good)
  • 1 1/2 T Worchestershire sauce
  • 1 T brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 T vinegar
  • 2 T liquid smoke
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 1 T cumin
  • 2 cups water
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked and diced
  • 1 - 1 1/2 T minced garlic
  • Pinch Roasted Red Pepper flakes to taste
Cooking Directions
  1. In a skillet, cook the bacon and onion until done.
  2. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a soup pot, brown the ground beef.
  4. Drain.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients, including the bacon and onion mixture and simmer for several hours.
  6. You can also cook it all together and then dump it in the crock pot so it simmers until you're ready to eat.
Serve over Rice Pilaf.

Holly's Note:
The Doctor wanted chili one night and I didn't really have a chili recipe to use.  He really likes Texas Roadhouse chili though and while this one isn't exactly like that, it gave me an idea to start with.  I took my Sloppy Joe/Western Burger recipe and modified it by eliminating the can of chili, and adding bacon, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic and some roasted red pepper.  It turned out really well and is one of our new favorite meals.  The Doctor likes to have his chili over rice, so I also cooked up a batch of Rice Pilaf and use beef broth instead of chicken.
