George’s Chili

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs. ground beef (80/20 mix works well)
• 1 ½ cups chopped onion
• 3 cups George’s Bloody Mary Mix
• 1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes (San Marzano is a favorite)
• 1 can (15 oz.) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ cup chopped green pepper
• ¼ tsp. cayenne (red) pepper (optional – for those how like heat!)
• ½ tsp. sugar
• ½ tsp. oregano
• ½ tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 ½ tsp. cumin
• 3 T. chili powder
• ½ tsp. garlic powder

Brown the meat and onions over medium heat until meat is cooked. Drain. In a large pot or Dutch oven, add remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 ½ hours (or cook in slow cooker for 8-10 hours after browning meat). Serve with shredded cheese and tortilla chips.
