I love to eat. I also have a complete inability to wing it in the kitchen. These two facts have led me to collect lots of recipes from other people. I hope you find some recipes in the mix that you like. Please leave your questions or feedback (the good, the bad, and the undecided) in the comment section of each recipe you try!!

CHILI
~ unknown source
2 c. dried pinto beans
2 c. canned tomatoes or 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 bay leaf
6 c. water
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
2 lb. ground beef and/or turkey
1 c. rich bouillon
little oregano
1/2 t. cumin powder
3 T. chili powder
Mix first six ingredients and simmer 2 –3 hours. Meanwhile, almost to the end of the 2 – 3 hours, brown turkey. Add bouillon, oregano, cumin and chili powder. Add the meat mixture to the beans and simmer one hour longer.
Notes: I never have bouillon around and don't think this is a very flavorful chili when made as directed, so I fill a one-cup measuring cup 1/3 - 1/2 full with molasses and then top it off with water instead of using bouillon. This freezes well.

I liked this recipe, but you're right, it needs a bit more zip for my taste. Next time I will leave out the onion so my husband can try it too. We've been looking for a good homemade chili recipe.
