Chilie Con Carne - The Secret Ingredient

I love chillies. Comfort food. Easy to make, so many different possibilities. This one is my standart recipe. It always ends up tasting different because I don't measure the ingredients.

Ingredients:

• onions chopped


• garlic, minced


• red and green bell peppers, diced


• jalapeno peppers, minced


• lean ground beef


• can of red kidney beans


• can of diced tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes when in season)


• can of pureed tomatoes


• sugar


• chili powder


• paprika


• cocoa powder


• ground coffee


• salt

Brown the onions and garlic, add the peppers, add meat and brown. Add remaining ingredients. Add water if to thick. Bring to a boil. Let simmer for at least 1h. Serve with rice and corn bread
