A "sort of" variation of chili recipe
This is what we are having for dinner tonight. It is called Taco Soup on my recipe, but I don't put as much water in it as it calls for, so we eat it more like chili... However, by not putting as much water in, it is a lot spicier!! Enjoy!
Taco Soup
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp garlic (I use the jar minced kind)
1 large onion (I only use half of a large onion and add raw onion to my bowl for crunch)
16 oz diced tomatoes
16 oz tomato sauce
4 oz green chiles
16 oz thick n chunky salsa (I use mild since I don't use as much water)
16 oz pinto beans
16 oz pinto beans w/chili sauce
16 oz red kidney beans
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
3 cups water
garnish with cheddar cheese, taco-flavored tortilla chips, and sour cream if desired.
Brown ground beef with onion & garlic. Add remaining ingredients & simmer.
Sounds almost like my chili recipe. I will edit it below.....
1 lb ground beef
1 lb steak cubes chopped to about the size of a die (you know Yahtzee dice size)
1/2 tsp garlic (I use Graceful Garlic from Scotts Farms here in Oklahoma..its out of this world)
1 medium red onion
16 oz diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (I use hot but use whatever temperature you want)
16 oz tomato sauce (sometimes i use 2 small cans of V8 instead)
16 oz pinto beans w/chili sauce (Bush's Best are hard to beat)
16 oz red kidney beans (see above)
1 pkg Williams Chili Seasoning (seasons 2 lbs)
A sprinkle of Paprika
I "rinse" the 5 cans with water and use tha****er (and the leftover goodies from the can) in the chili
I have alternated the steak cubes with ground deer meat or with ground buffalo meat before. If you dont want the chuckwagon taste however you can just use 2 lbs of regular ground beef instead. I serve with crackers and top with shreaded cheese or serve over spaggetti depending on what mood I am in.
Speaking of spagetti, I have a 20+ year family tradition recipe we fix for Christmas if anyone would like to try it.
Who would have thought, a guy who likes to cook who dont live in New York or some other culinary location, hehe.
