Sooz's Chili (Ground Beef and Beans)
1
Person talking
Although I have modified it some, I’ve been making this chili since 1977 when my then fiancé asked me to please use his ex-wife’s recipe for chili because he didn’t like mine as well! Guess we know why I didn’t marry HIM! I know that there are a ton of Chili recipes on this board, but I'd like to have mine out there too for my family to have access to. I have two recipes for chili: this one (which is a bit sweeter and fairly mild) and one made with brisket. This is the one I make when I am in a hurry and I used it to make A Good Things Hully Gully (Frito Chili Salad) Recipe # 224143. I also serve this over corn bread or rolled in flour tortillas as burritos.

Thanks SoozieQ for a quick and easy chili! I added a diced onion, more cumin (because I love it in chili!) two tablespoons of chili powder and a heaping teaspoon of sugar; I forgot the Worcestershire sauce!! I like lots of beans in chili so added two 19 ounce cans of romano beans (rinsed and drained) and a large can of diced tomatoes. I added a sliced hot Italian sausage I had to use up, and a half teaspoon of pepper and dried crushed chilies. A great tasting chili!!Reply
