Chili...It's What's for Dinner.

I'm so in love with fall.  I love chilly, crisp days.  I love pumpkin candles and harvest decor and thinking cozy thoughts on my couch in the mornings while drinking coffee out of a really pretty fall coffee cup.  Not that we have legit fall days in Texas, but still. And I love chili. Homemade chili.  Not the canned stuff....that's just, ewwww.  

Yesterday was rainy and droopy here in southeast Texas so chili was on my mind.  Monday's are usually spaghetti days in our house, but chili won out.  Sorry spaghetti!

I like to use grass-fed beef and organic beans, tomatoes, spices, etc., but it's perfectly fine to use whatever works best for your fam!

Ingredients:

1 lb grass-fed beef
4 cans of organic dark red kidney beans
6 roma tomatoes {stewed and peeled} OR you can use one large can of organic stewed, peeled tomatoes.
Dump all of this in a big pot plus two cups of water.

Seasoning:

3 T chili powder
2 T cumin
1 T garlic powder
1/3 C dried minced onion
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 black pepper

Stir occasionally and cook on med-low for about an hour or two if you can.  If not, be sure to save some for leftovers...the longer the flavors have to melt together and become BFF's, the better.

I'm to lazy to post a homemade cornbread recipe, so make some of that too.

There you have it, folks.  Not much to it.

Enjoy!
