I have several chili recipes but this is, by far, the best one I make. It was over 100 degrees yesterday here in SE Oklahoma and I still made chili and we all tore it up. In other words, it was delicious!
My Homemade Chili Recipe
12 oz. bottle of beer (I used Budweiser)
1 small can of tomato paste
1 can petite diced tomatoes, drained
2 lbs. ground beef
5 cans chili beans
15 oz. can tomato sauce
2 T. dried chopped onion
1 T. sugar
1/3 c. chili seasoning mix
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 can carrots, mushed up
Fry up your ground beef in a large soup pot until cooked thoroughly; do not drain. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for at least 30 minutes. If you can wait, cook a total of 1 1/2 hours. Our family usually gets to smelling it and can't wait so they dig into it after 30 minutes. :-)
If you prefer a really hot and super spicy chili, then add some hot sauce and cayenne pepper. I have medical issues and can't handle really hot foods so this is perfect for us.
