Mom's Beef Chili


It seems like every recipe I post from my mom becomes incredibly popular on Gas Stove Girl. I have a feeling this one here will be no different.


Previously from my mother's kitchen that you have loved: Lentil Soup, Baked Macaroni and Cheese.


Currently from my mother's kitchen you will soon love: Beef Chili.



My Mom's Chili is the number one chili in my heart. There is something about it that is better than some other chilis I have consumed. Our family does not really enjoy very spicy foods nor do most of us like beans (I actually like beans, but I digress).


This chili starts out as all good chilis should: with lots of ground beef, a diced onion, and a red bell pepper. A bunch of spices get added to the mix--essential spices--such as chili powder, cumin, oregano, basil, a pinch of sugar, and some salt. Just add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and some Frank's Red Hot and BAM! Chili is served.


At my house, we've always enjoyed chili over rice, topped with lots of shredded cheddar cheese. This time around, I sliced up crispy Italian bread for dunking (and still topped it with plenty of cheddar!) Enjoy this chili in whatever way your heart desires! Perhaps some chili cheese fries just in time for the Super Bowl? JUST SAYIN'
