  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 - 24 oz cans of chili beans
  • 2 - 16 oz cans stewed tomato’s
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 - 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • Dash of ground cumin
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup of water or tomato juice - optional

Brown the hamburger, Italian sausage and onions until the onions are opaque and the meat is done. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for 2-3 hours. If you prefer more liquid in the chili you may add a cup of water or tomato juice.

 

Enjoy a nice cold beer with spicy food? Next time pass on your everyday beer and try out a Negra Modelo.  This Mexican-brewed Vienna lager dates back to 1926, and comes in a short, stubby brown bottle with a trademark gold label. While the name and the color (dark brown) might lead you to think it's a Guinness-like drink, the beer is actually medium bodied, with a slight sweetness and a clean, smooth finish. Garnish with a lime, and enjoy.
