First Pot of Chili of the Fall

I've been craving chili for more than a month now, but it's been way too hot. However, this past weekend, it FINALLY cooled off here in No. AL and it actually feels like fall! :) WooHoo!!!

Time to break out the dutch oven and make some chili!



Here's my take on chili...


1 pound ground round
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cans diced tomatoes with zesty mild green chilies
1 can white shoepeg corn
1 can light red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can chili beans, medium sauce
1/2 cup beef stock

Brown ground round in dutch oven. Add remaining 7 ingredients; bring to a boil and reduce heat so that it just simmers. Let simmer for 2 hours.

Serve with shredded cheddar, sour cream, tortilla chips and favorite beverage.

Enjoy!

P.S. - This recipe can also be made in a crock-pot. Just brown the meat in a skillet and add to the crock-pot. Let cook on low all day.
