Favorite Chili Con Carne

This is my go-to chili recipe. As long as your ground beef is thawed, this can be ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs County Line Meats Ground Beef
  • 1 cup chopped onions
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 (30 oz) can mild chili beans (or hot chili beans to turn up the heat)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, crackers

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef with onion and garlic over medium heat; drain.
  2. Stir in tomatoes, broth, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt; reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes.
  3. Stir in beans and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
  4. Top with sour cream, shredded cheese and/or crackers. Delicious with corn bread!
