This is a winter staple for sure. I'd serve it once a week, but I've been told that's too often. We probably eat it twice a month in the winter though. The great thing about chili is it's hard to mess it up. I KNOW there are fancier recipes out there, but I love the simplicity of this one!
1 pound of ground beef
1 tsp of minced garlic (from a jar)
cumin
chili powder
salt
pepper
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1/2 jar salsa
1 can tomato soup
1 can water
I brown the beef in a large pot, along with the garlic and the seasonings (I don't measure, I just eye them). Drain the grease. Then open those cans and throw everything in! Sometimes I put it all in the crock pot. Other times I put it all together and we eat when it's heated through. Our favorite side is corn bread (especially from Trader Joe's when we can get our hands on some), but we also like to eat it with baked potatoes and some broccoli. This recipe makes enough for my family with a little bit leftover, but my kids don't eat huge bowls. We also like to top it with sour cream and cheese- pepper jack is great for those who like some extra kick!

This is a journal of meals to inspire you and to refer back to myself as well. Far from a gourmet cook, I'm just trying to get supper on the table for a family of 7. The recipes you'll find here are simple. You'll notice I often take the easy way out- that's due to the fact that the more I touch the food, the more my hand eczema flares up and to the fact that I have 5 children ages infant- 7 and I just don't have time to slave for hours over one meal. In my attempt to make simple, inexpensive meals that everyone likes, I rarely please them all but I'll keep trying!
