Hey there! Don't know if you know of 'Wendy's' chilli (fast food chain in America) but I've got a copycat recipe for their chilli which I make on an EE day. It's yum! Warning - if you use the amount of chilli powder it calls for then it's quite spicy! (1/4 cup = nearly a whole little bottle of chilli powder!)
Wendy’s Chili
2 lbs. fresh ground beef
1 qt. (950ml) tomato juice (6.5 syns) (or try tin tomatoes)
1 (29 oz.) can tomato puree (passata)
1 (15 oz.) can red beans, drained (try using 2 beans – pinto and kidney to equal 30 oz beans)
1 medium onion (1 1/2 c.), chopped
1/2 C. celery, diced
1/4 C. green pepper, diced
1/4 C. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin (if you like real flavor, add more)
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. each: black pepper, oregano, sugar
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Method
In a frying pan, brown the ground beef; drain. Put the drained beef and the remaining ingredients into a 6-quart pot. Cover the pot; let it simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
