Sweet N Spicy Taco Chili

Sometimes you have to impovise when you want something specific to eat, I took ingredients that I had in my pantry and made an awesome new chili.

Ingredients:

2.5 lbs. hamburger meat
1 packet taco seasoning
2- 15 oz cans Goya red kidney beans
2- 15 oz cans Goya pink beans
1- 10 oz can diced tomatoes with habarneros
2- Tblsp sugar
4- Tblsp chili powder
1- 15 oz can diced tomatoes
2- 15 oz cans of tomato sauce

Directions:

Brown hamburger meat
Sprinkle half taco seasoning packet over meat
Open cans, drain juice from beans
Puree diced tomatoes with habarneros (I used my blender)
Put beans, sauce, puree, sugar, and seasonings in large pot
Stir ingredients well, put burner on medium heat, cover
Drain grease from meat, and add meat to pot, stir well
For extra spicy, add 1 tbsp of hot sauce
Cook for one hour and serve

Chunkie Chili

This is one of my favorite soups to make. It doesn't matter if it is summer or winter, I love me some chili. I like chunkie chili, I like lots of meat in my chili. I have watched many people over the years make this, and this is my own recipe. In the winter, I will eat this by the bowl, but in the summer time, I like to make my infamous Chili Doritos Grande.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs of hamburger meat
4 Tbsp chili powder
3 15 oz cans of kidney beans (2 dark and 1 light)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 14.5 oz cans of stewed tomatoes
2 Tbsp sugar

• Open all your cans
• You need a 5 - 6 court pot (Dutch oven)
• Drain the beans of their juice
• Put your beans, diced tomatoes(juice and all), 3 Tbsp of chili powder, and 2 Tbsp of sugar into the pot and stir, and turn burner on to medium
• Take stewed tomatoes, juice and all, put into the blender and puree and pour into pot, stir
• Fry hamburger meat with 1 Tbsp of chili powder, drain grease, add to pot and stir
• Cook for 1 hour on low/simmer

I cook for an hour for better flavor, but it can be served immediately.
