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?
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.
