Old Fashioned Chili
"This is the best ever chili recipe. It's hearty and filling and combines amazing flavor easily without spending hours in the kitchen. It combines ground beef, onions, green peppers, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste with the perfect blend of seasoning to create one incredible recipe! I love to make a big pot of it and serve with sweet cornbread for a meal that just can't be beat. There are rarely leftovers, it's so good!"

Ingredients
- 2 pound ground beef/turkey
- 2 green peppers (about 2 cups diced)
- 1 yellow onion (about 1.5 cups diced)
- 2 (15-ounce) cans Hunts Diced Tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can Hunts Tomato Sauce
- 1 (6-ounce) can Hunts Tomato Paste
- 1 (15-ounce) can water
- 2 (15-ounce) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoon garlic powder
-
In a large dutch oven, saute diced peppers and onions until translucent and they start to caramelize.
-
Add seasonings (minus the baking soda) and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously. (Make sure they don’t burn.)
-
Add ground meat and brown until just done. It’s okay if it still has some pink in it before you add the rest of the ingredients.
-
Pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water and tomato paste.
-
Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook for about 15 minutes. Then add the drained beans.
-
Stir in the baking soda. The sauce will start to bubble up. Stir over medium heat until the bubbles have gone away.
