Hi all! We are heading to Ann Arbor for the Michigan-Wisconsin football game this weekend. Since it'll be a little (ahem) chilly, I decided to whip up a batch of Chili for our tailgate!
The plan is to bring the chili in the cooler, and throw it in the slow cooker to heat up in the morning before we head out to tailgate. Fingers crossed, it'll stay hot long enough for us to enjoy before we head to the game.
This is my mom's chili recipe, one that I grew up eating. It is, by far, the best chili recipe out there. (Don't let Joe even talk to you about Chili by George, bleh).
2 lbs ground beef or turkey
1 lb sausage (I usually use hot Italian sausage, but today it was sweet because that's what Trader Joe's had)
1 large onion, chopped
1 sq unsweetened chocolate
1 green pepper
1 T salt
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 T Paprika
1 1/2 T Chili powder
1 T Cumin
2-3 cans chopped tomatoes
2 cans kidney beans
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
Saute the onion and brown the beef; drain, set aside. Brown the sausage separately; drain. Combine all ingredients, simmer ~2 hours.
If I've got some to use up, I throw in a tablespoon or so of ground cinnamon. Nommm. Enjoy with shredded cheese, tortilla chips, saltines, lime, baked potato, tapatio, whatever! And Go Blue!
