Cold Weather Cookin’
After 17″ of snow the last couple of days, I decided to make chili! I have a go to recipe I use which would not win any Chili cook off competitions but I like it. The original recipe comes from a Better Homes and Garden cookbook my mom gave me back in the 80’s. I love that cookbook! I don’t really follow the recipe anymore, I just throw the stuff together. Below is basically what I do. I will tell you that I usually add more chili powder than what I have listed. The original recipe calls for 2 tsp. but who would put only 2 tsps. in chili!?!
My Chili
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic minced

- 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- 1 15 oz can red kidney beans drained
- 1 tbsp chili powder more or less to taste
- 1/2 tsp dried basil

Welcome to Crafty Commons!
No one is going to read this but I’ll post it anyway. With this blog I hope to share all of my wonderful wisdom! I enjoy cooking, baking, sewing, knitting, and crafts of all kinds. I’ll probably also post about Hubby, Kitty, Frog, and Bunny, my wonderful granddaughter. Hubby and I have been married for 10 years. Kitty is my 25 yr. old daughter who has been married to Frog for 4 years. They have a 2 yr. old daughter, Bunny, who is not spoiled in the least. At least not spoiled too much. 🙂
So, I’ll take a little time and see how this all goes! If you are reading this, welcome, and stay awhile. You might enjoy it.
