monkey see monkey do

amazing chili.

our weekend was spent watching a whole lot of football

and enjoying our favorite tailgate chili.

Thought i would share this recipe so you can do the same some weekend...

ingredients (many, but well worth it):

1/2 lb spicy Italian sausage

1 lb ground beef chuck

1 lg can chili beans

3 cans diced tomatoes

1 (6oz) can tomato paste

1 yellow onion

1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 small can chile peppers

6 strips of bacon (cooked) cut into pieces

4 cubes beef bouillon

12oz beer

3T chili powder

1T Worcestershire sauce

1T minced garlic

1T dried oregano

2t ground cumin

1t dried basil

1t salt

1t ground black pepper

1t cayenne pepper

1t paprika

1T sugar

1 bag of Fritos

Shredded cheddar cheese

sour cream

Cook ground beef and Italian sausage until brown. Drain off excess grease. Pour into crock pot. Saute onion, green and red peppers, and garlic until caramelized. Add this with all other ingredients in to crock pot. Let simmer on low for most of day. The longer the chili simmers the better it will taste! Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and Fritos.

Enjoy!
