Karen's Chili

This is a combination of different recipes I have found over the years. It can be made on the stove top or in a slow cooker.   It has a well rounded flavor without being to spicy.  I've made it with ground beef and ground turkey and its good either way. Tastes great on a cold or rainy day. 

Serve with cornbread or spoon cornbread

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef or ground turkey
1 large onion chopped
4 cloves minced garlic
1 green pepper chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1Tb & 1 tsp chili powder
1 Tb cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 16 oz cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 16 oz can kidney beans (drained)
1 16 oz corn (drained)
1 12 oz can tomato paste

Garnish:   Sour cream, Cheddar cheese, Green onion

In  large skillet cook ground beef (or ground turkey), onion, garlic, and green pepper. Drain well  and transfer into large pot, add the remaining ingredients.  Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 3 hours.  If using a slow cooker cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Ladle into bowls and garnish with sour cream, cheddar cheese and green onion

Serves 8
