Nothing Like a Bowl of Chili on a Chilly November Day.

Except when its 63 degrees outside, and we've just come in from playing tennis in shorts. But still, a spicy bowl of chili sounded good, so we made a big pot. I used a pound of the ground beef from my meat package from Otis Family Farm, and for the first time in my life, the groundness didn't freak me out.

So a sizzling pan with onions, green peppers, carrots (my addition) and the beef. The adding beef (or chicken) stock, tomatoes, black beans, garlic and handful of spices and let it simmer. Fifteen minutes later, we had a pot of hot, steamy chili. Looked like there was enough for a few days, but after a hearty dinner and the next day's lunch it was gone.

Husband asked if it was hard to make, and the answer is simply, No. there's some dicing and some waiting, but overall Chili is one of the easiest things to make. He thinks we should make it every week so its always around. Not a bad idea. It would go even faster if two people were dicing :)
