Adventure 3: Chili

Chili:

So this week is my chili experiment and I'm pretty excited and nervous.  Again, I found a bunch of recipes online and decided to take what seemed good to me.  This recipe should serve about 6 and needs to be cooked on low for 8-12 hrs.  One of my friends at work put pineapple in her chili and it tasted really good, so I decided to add that.  The bf and I love corn, so I threw that in too.  A lot of recipes say use fresh tomatoes but I'm really not a fan, so I just used sauce and paste.  I'm really starting to love cooking, especially the mixing and experimenting part of creating recipes and not having to do much after I get home from work.



Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 Polish Kielbasas (I was going to use 2 but 1 seemed like enough)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 can chopped green chilies
1 can crushed pinapples (strained)
10 oz frozen corn

1 onion
1 green pepper
2 garlic cloves

2 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp grill seasoning
1 tsp cumin

green onions
cheese


Directions:
I cut up the onion and green pepper into equal sized segments and chopped my garlic. I then browned the ground beef in a skillet season to taste and drained the grease and fat before adding the onion, pepper and garlic. I cooked that on the stove for about another minute and threw it in the crockpot. I browned the spicy kielbasa and added it as well. Toss in the rest of the ingredients and stir well.

It already smells really good so I'm excited to see how the flavors blend. Time for work!
