Bonnye's Award Winning Chili

Bonnye Wallace

This chili recipe is mine - I made it for a ward party chili contest and it won 1st place! I'm not the greatest cook, so this is a badge of honor for me!

1-2 lbs. ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 chopped onion

2 cloves garlic

2 (15 oz.) cans tomato sauce 

2 (15 oz.) cans diced tomatoes 

2 (15 oz.) cans kidney beans - I use one can light and one can dark

1 Tbsp. chili pepper

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. red pepper

Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic. Drain fat, if any.  Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chili pepper, cumin, and red pepper.  Simmer for 45 minutes.  Add rinsed kidney beans for last 15 minutes.
