Loaded Chili

A warm bowl of chili loaded with lots of good stuff is just what we need with more snow expected tonight. 

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef
2 onions, sliced or diced
3 celery stalks, sliced or diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 - 540 ml (19 oz) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 - 540 ml (19 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup kernel corn
284 ml (10 oz) Rotel chopped tomatoes and green chilies
              or any canned diced tomatoes
680 ml (24 oz) tomato sauce
2-3 cups broth (beef, vegetable or chicken)
2-3 tsps chili powder (3 if you don't use Rotel tomatoes)
1  1/2 tsps cumin
salt and pepper to taste.

In a large pot brown the ground beef until no pink remains then add the rest of the ingredients. This was the first time I used Rotel chopped tomatoes and green chilies and I love them! Just a nice amount of heat.

Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are softened.

You could serve your chili topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese for an extra layer of flavour.

And these Flaking Buttermilk Biscuits were great for sopping up the juices!
