Chili con carne

Typical Sunday for me.  A little internet, a little exercise, a nap, and a meal hot out of the slow cooker.  Wanna watch me cook?

The basics.  Regular readers here at LTG know that when it comes to the kitchen, I am firm believer in the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple system).

Now some folks like the onions raw as a topping but today I went with the saute method.

Then I browned 2 pounds of fresh ground beef with the onions.

Then put all the ingredients together in the slow cooker…

…and set it on low heat for 8 hours…longer than necessary but what the hell.

So as the urge to eat began to set in, it was time to mix up a batch of corn muffins…

…and pop them in the oven.

And while the muffins bake, I’ll grate a little cheddar cheese.

  1. Might have to make me up some of that too!

    I have always been partial to throwing a dollop of sour cream in with the chili along with either fresh or pickled jalapeño peppers.

    Yup. Making it next weekend for sure now.

  2. Chicago Chili Dogs [Euro posted some links to some varieties of Chicago-style chili dogs.  Unfortunately, the links were disrupting the pagination of the blog page.  The only fix I could find was deletion.  The did look good.  Heh, think of it as my having eaten them!]
