Chunky Chili Recipe


I use this chili recipe for Superbowl Sunday. It's very delicious, and exactly what I think chili should taste like. It's great if you like mild chili, you can add extra chili powder to taste.


Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium sweet onion, very finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 cans red kidney beans, drained (optional, Todd hates beans so we skip)
1 jar marinara meat sauce (use a high quality sauce)
1 package chili seasoning
Shredded cheese, for garnish
Sour cream, for garnish
Minced chives, for garnish

*I add a can of drained corn the last 5 minutes of cooking-it adds a nice texture and hint of sweetness


Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and saute until softened. Crumble in the ground beef and cook until browned. Add beans and marinara sauce and combine thoroughly. Stir in chili seasoning, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Spoon into individual bowls and garnish with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and chives.


*We think this tastes better the next day, great for leftovers!
