Remember that one time I went on a diet?
That was cute when I did that.
Anyway.
Boyfriend and I made chili last weekend and it was off the chain delicious. And considering how easy it was to make, I think we were both surprised by how great it turned out.
CHILI (adapted from Anyone Can Cook magazine)
INGREDIENTS
1 lb of lean ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 15-oz can of tomato sauce
1 15-oz can of red kidney beans, undrained
1 14.5-oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 heaping teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
sour cream (optional)
avocado, sliced (optional)
margaritas (not optional)
DIRECTIONS
In a 3-qt saucepan cook ground beef, bell pepper, onion, and garlic all together over medium heat until meat is browned and onion is tender. Drain fat.
Throw in the rest of the ingredients- tomato sauce, beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, basil, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
Top each serving with cheddar, sour cream, avocado, or whatever you feel like. It's also great served with cornbread muffins.
Also, eat it with a margarita. It's perfect, actually.
Also-also, this is perfect "Sunday" food. It goes with football AND bridal marathons.
Boner'ppetite.
