Dic Ann’s Chili

Ingredients:

1 kg extra-lean ground beef, pork or turkey

1 white onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

2 tbsp chili powder

1 can (540 ml) diced tomatoes

1 can (540 ml) kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (540 ml) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 jar of Dic Ann’s sauce

Optional:

Shredded Tex-Mex cheese

Avocado

Sour cream

Fresh cilantro

Cayenne pepper

Instructions:

Cook the onion and garlic in a large pot with a little oil until golden. Add the meat, salt and chili powder. Stir everything together and break up the meat to get a finer texture and to spread the spices evenly, until the meat is fully cooked.

Stir the jar of Dic Ann’s sauce and add all of it.

Stir in the tomatoes and the kidney and black beans. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes. Serve, if desired, with shredded Tex-Mex cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado pieces and/or chopped cilantro.

Add a pinch of cayenne if you like it a little spicier.
