White Bean Chili

This was fun and easy to make. I also have a late night tomorrow, so I thought: LOTS OF LEFTOVERS!

You'll need:

3 lbs, or so, medium-lean ground beef

1 onion, 5 cloves garlic, 1 diced celery stalk, 2 minced red hot peppers.

1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 cup beef stock

1/2 cup white wine

1 can white kidney beans

1 can corn niblets

salt and pepp.

Spices: 1 tsp each: cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano. A pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon and a nice dash of red pepper flakes.

1. Saute onions, garlic, celery and peppers in a large pot.

2. Add beef, salt and pepper, and brown nicely.

3. Add wine and tomatoes and beef stock. Bring to a simmer.

4. Add spices.

5. Add beans.

6. 5 minutes before serving, add corn.

7. Serve in deep soup bowls, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and serve with large tortillas! Kids (and adults!) will love eating up the chili with chips!

Moolicious!
