good chili

I made this chili tonight for the first time, and everyone loved it! My finicky little eaters snarfed it down. I think one thing that helped my kids to eat it was that I let them be a part of making it.

They helped add ingredients, stir and even an occasional taste test along the way. Once they had helped be a party of making it, they were excited to try "their" dinner. They also liked that they could add a little cheese and sour cream. It was also quick and easy to make. If you brown the meat and onions first, then you could also add it all to a crock pot to simmer all afternoon. Hope you like it!

Ingredients

(I didn't have garlic cloves, so I added garlic powder. I also used canned pinto beans since I was out of chili beans, and it turned out great!)

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 (28 ounce) can chili beans

Directions

1. Saute meat, onions and garlic until done.
2. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 2 hours.

Top with cheese and a dollop of sour cream and serve!!
