No Beans About It - Chili

My husband won't eat beans but LOVES chili, so I had to come up with this variation on an old favorite. Instead, it contains lots of canned tomatoes and onion. This is great served over rice with some shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Ground turkey may be substituted for ground beef.

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Crumble the ground beef into a stock pot or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook stirring frequently until beef is evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.

Step 2

Season with chili powder, oregano, cumin and hot sauce. Stir in the tomatoes and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 1 hour - or longer if you have time. Stir occasionally to prevent burning on the bottom.
