What could sound better on a cold day than a hot bowl of spicy chili! This recipe from my mom is one of my favorites and super easy! It is a great recipe to keep warm on the stove when life gets busy, and it freezes great for leftovers! Easy, fast, and oh so yummy!
Cozy Chili
2 pounds Ground Beef (sausage is great too!)
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 16 oz cans Tomato Sauce
1 can Tomato Paste
2 16 oz cans Chili Beans
2 16 oz cans Kidney Beans, drained
1 16 oz can Pinto Beans, drained
1 16 oz can Chopped Tomatoes, drained
2 Teaspoons Ground Garlic
1 Teaspoon Chili Powder (add more for a spicy kick!)
1/2 Teaspoon Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
Brown ground beef and onion. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, beans, chopped tomatoes, & spices. Let simmer until well combined and heated through. For best flavor, simmer for one hour. Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, peppers, chives, or salsa!
