Mom's Chili
Recipe By : Ed Gould
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chili
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/8 lb Ground beef
2 lg Yellow onions -- chopped
1 1/8 lb Kidney beans
1/2 lb Tomato paste
7/8 c Water
4 cl Garlic -- or more to taste
1 Bay leaf
2 1/8 tb Ketchup
1 1/8 tb Chili powder -- or more to taste
Brown the meat and onions, separately if desired.
In a large, heavy pot, combine the meat and onions, and the other
ingredients except the chili powder.
Simmer "at least" 1 hour; 6 or more hours is better.
Stir in the chili powder.
Notes: This chili won't win any awards in Texas, but it's a nice,
mild, flavorful dish. The recipe can easily be multiplied; I usually
make a triple batch and freeze the excess. For a spicier chili, use
more chili powder, or - even better - mix your own spices.
I usually use more garlic - the cloves can be left whole, and will
become soft and mildly flavored by simmering. The flavor is best if
the chili sits for a day before being served.
