a regular cold front
What do you do in Texas when the high is only 87 degrees?
Make Chili of course!
That’s a regular cold front compared to the 90+ days of over 100 degree heat we’ve had this year.
Classic Beef Chili
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. cumin
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 sweet onion, chopped
1/4 cup diced green chilies
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
In a large nonstick skillet, cook beef and garlic over medium-high heat, until browned. Drain. Add chili powder and cumin; stir.
Combine tomatoes, beans, onion, chilies, and tomato paste in slow cooker; stir in beef mixture. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until flavors are blended. Makes 6 (1 cup) servings.
What recipe sceams fall to you?
What Kelly Said 
Hahaha….my mom was saying the same thing about Shreveport. I’m going home tomorrow, and yesterday she said, “It’s REALLY been cooling down here!” I checked the temps, and the high was still 85 degrees. Crazy lady. 🙂
Too funny…your mom and I think alike!
Yes. Chili. Mmmm.
I have never made my own chili. This needs to change! Looks awesome!
I love chili. Its the perfect food for fall. I made some this weekend and I’ve already had it for lunch and two dinners. 🙂
Of course! It’s the only thing one can do. Yours looks great. You should check my recently blogged veggie chilli out – its yum.
I have never been a big fan of chili, but any kind of soup or stew is definitely a fall meal for me!
Not only have I never made chili, I’ve also never eaten it. Perhaps I should try.
I can’t believe you have never even tried chili! Kelly…we need to remedy that soon!
I’m planning on making some chili tonight — I love chili and it totally screams Fall to me. So does apple crisp — which reminds me that I need to make some of that soon too.
It is DEFINITELY getting to be chili weather! I can’t wait to make a big pot some weekend soon (though it’s supposed to heat up again so that might not happen as soon as I’d like). Either way, this looks awesome 🙂
So true about the temps! When I was leaving for college from the Houston area, my boyfriend and I were aghast that the temperature was going UP as we were going north. I go to college in the Dallas area and it was so incredibly miserable up here. I remember when we got a cool front that it was going to be in the mid 90s I was so happy.
I love your cold front 🙂
We are having a “warm front” – it’s up to 65 today! woo! And it’s getting into the 70s the remainder of the week – Hot Damn!
When I think of fall I always think of pumpkin recipes…pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll, pumpkin lattes…mm!
I’ll take my chili without any beans please 🙂 PS– 80-ish degrees makes SUCH A HONKIN difference from the 100 degree temps! I can’t wait until it gets 60s-70s consistently!!!! It’s getting close to gumbo weather 🙂
i wish it was 87 here! it’s been super cold in VA – way colder than it should be. i made soup this week and chili last week! 🙂
We’re having chili for dinner tomorrow night and I can’t wait. Love some chili. Your recipe sounds delicious.
