When my Mom made chili she would let it simmer literally all day. That's great, but it always made me think that is how one makes good chili, and I just don't have that kind of time. My wife came up with this recipe that is pretty fast, and frankly, tastes just as good. My contribution is the optional bison and beer.
Ingredients
1 chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
2 lb. ground beef or bison
2 15 oz. cans Tomato sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes, do not drain
2 1-lb cans Kidney beans, drained & rinsed
2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp Chili powder
1 beer
