I just made some chili 2 days ago and it was awesome.
Here's my recipe (makes about 5-6 servings):
start by sauteeing chopped yellow onion and a tablespoon of minced garlic (found in produce dep't of grocery store). Once that is a little brown, crumble in 1 lb of ground beef. Add seasonings such as salt, seasoned salt, white pepper, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Once the beef is all browned, drain the fat and add 1 can of diced tomatoes (Hunts or Del Monte i think makes a type that is "Chili ready") and add 1 can of the following:
Great Northern Beans
Light Red Kidney Beans
Pinto Beans
½ can of Dark Red Kidney Beans
And sometimes i add a small amount (½ cup) of tomato sauce
Add a little water and let simmer for 30 mins. Add more seasons if necessary
EAT AND ENJOY!!!

Answer 5

This chili is similar to Wendys Chili, easy to fix and you top it off with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream& chives.
1 1/2 to 2lbs of hamburger I usually double the recipe as this is a thick hearty chili
1 T Chili Powder
1 Can of French Onion Soup
2 teaspoons of cumin
Few drops of tabasco sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons of black pepper
21 oz can of red kidney beans, or two small cans
1-6oz tomato paste
1-8oz can of tomato sauce
Brown hamburger, drain off grease add kidney beans and juice add all other ingredients and simmer and stir often.
This chili will be thick and hearty, if we have company and I fix it I rarely have any left if I make a double batch. Good Luck

Answer 6

I used to do a tuna chili years ago. Unfortunately, I think the only difference in chili recipes is the heat level. lol I like small bite size chunks of loin(any kind) slow cooked with onion and garlic. Slow cooked for hours. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Skin a whole raw chicken and let it boil 30 minutes. Allow it to cool and debone the chicken, return the meat to the broth in pan. Add 2 table spoons of salt, 2 small cans of white navy beans (drained), 2 cans of diced green pepper,

cook/brown 1 tube of ground pork and 1 large yellow onion in a separate pan. Drain of grease. Add to chicken mixture. Let it all boil 15 minutes. Then add 2 soft corn tortillas, chopped. Simmer, stirring occasionally until corn tortillas are dissolved and chili is thickened. Then add about 1/3 cup of cream til it is white and creamy. WHITE CHICKEN CHILI!

Answer 8

How about making a "White Chicken Chili?" You use navy (white) beans and grilled chicken (like fajita meat). I don't have a recipe, but it would be different and yummy! I'm sure All Recipes dotcom has a myriad of recipes for it.

Answer 9

White bean chicken chili.

My grandmother used to make chili and her secret ingredient was a tablespoon (or so...she never really measured) of cocoa powder.
