Chili con carne

  1. 1 Onion chopped fine
  2. 2 lbs lean ground beef                                                                                       Fry these together until onions are caramelized a bit
  3. 1 28 oz. can of chopped tomatoes (drained)
  4. 1 28 oz. Can of mixed beans (romano, kidney, white and red) or your favorite bean
  5. ¼ cup ketchup
  6. 400 ml Classico sweet basil Marinara sauce (reduce in a sauce pan with some corn starch to thicken before adding to other ingredients
  7. 3 tbsp lime juice
  8. 2 tbsp chili powder ( add more later if not enough)
  9. 1 tsp cumin
  10. 1 tbsp oregano
  11. 2 small cans button mushroom ( 1 would have used fresh mushrooms for small quantity of chili but for a big batch it was faster to use canned)
  12. ½ green pepper, chopped ( use red if you want more color but green has more flavor)

Simmer for at least 2 hrs.  If too thick add more marinara sauce or beef broth.  If too sloppy ladle out some juice.

Add more chili powder to your taste as it simmers.  Palates differ significantly.  It is easy to add but cannot be removed.

This is as close to what you ate as I can make it but it is not exact since cooking in large quantities is not the same as making small batches.  ENJOY!

You can vary it to make it to your preference.  As Mme Benoit liked to say, “A recipe is like a tune around which you can make a symphony.”  Let your imagination soar.
