This Family Chili Recipe warms the body and soul. Controversially, it contains both beans and corn! Sound the alarm because this chili is phenomenal and super easy.
Sauté the onions in a drizzle of oil for several minutes over medium-high heat. Turn down the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté together until the onions are translucent. Stir frequently to make sure the garlic doesn’t burn. Nothing ruins a dish faster than burnt garlic! Transfer onions and garlic to large pot or crock-pot.
Brown and drain the meat and then add to the pot or crock-pot.
Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot and simmer over low heat for at least an hour. If you are using a crock-pot, cook on low heat for 8 hours. The longer you cook it, the better it will taste.
Notes
This recipe makes a wonderful mild-medium chili. If you like your chili hot then double the chili powder or add a dash of hot sauce. Every time I make this recipe I try something new. This time I made it with 1 lb ground sirloin and 1 lb ground turkey for a healthier alternative. It is also excellent with 1 lb sirloin and 1 lb ground sausage.
