Tom's Chili

2 pounds of lean ground meat. (lean sirloin is what we used)
1 onion
1-2 bell peppers
1/2 jar of roasted red peppers or jalapeños
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
2 cans of red kidney beans
garlic (5-8 cloves as desired)
chili powder (1-3 Tbsp as desired)
dried chili flakes (1-2 Tbsp as desired)
olive oil

This recipe could also be done in a slow cooker. I would brown meat first before adding to the pot.

This can be done with any type of meat or even vegetarian. Just substitute the meat with soy crumbles or something else, another bean. We tend to like our food spicy, so we add a lot of peppers and seasonings. Feel free to play around with the seasonings.

I am hoping I didn't forget any ingredient :)

1. place olive oil in a large dutch oven type pot. Dice up the onion and peppers. Sauté the onions and peppers in the olive oil. Once translucent, add the meat and chilli powder. Brown the meat
2. Add the beans and chopped tomatoes. Stir together with meat and peppers. Add in the jar peppers. With a garlic press, add the garlic cloves. Add in the dried chilli or pepper flakes.
3. Let simmer for at least an hour to get the flavours well situated. Enjoy!
