Hearty Chili Recipe

A friend shared this recipe several years ago. It is our go-to chili recipe. It is hearty filled with 3 kinds of beans and mushrooms with a wonderful spicy flavor.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef, browned and drained

1 medium onion, diced

28 oz. whole tomatoes, drained (I sub diced tomatoes)

15 oz. tomato sauce

15 1/2 oz. kidney beans, drained

15 1/2 oz. chili beans

16 oz. baked beans

12 oz. mushrooms, drained (I prefer to use fresh mushrooms and slice 2 cups)

1 tsp. onion salt

1 tsp. garlic salt

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. black pepper

1/2 - 1 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. red pepper

Mix together, heat and simmer. I love to slow simmer for several hours but it is ready as soon as it is thoroughly heated.

Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of your favorite cheese. We like the Fiesta blend. 

It is also wonderful with a side of Mexican cornbread.

Enjoy!
