We've all heard that firefighters are known for their talents in the fire station kitchen, so we're sharing a hot idea for a hearty beefy chili recipe that'll get you all fired up. Don't be alarmed...it's simple!

What You'll Need

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds ground beef
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 (16-ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained

What to Do

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender. Add ground beef and brown 8 to 10 minutes, or until no pink remains; drain off excess liquid.
Add remaining ingredients; mix well.
Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.

Good stuff. I left out cumin, subbed one can of black beans for red and added about 1/2 cup sliced jalapeno's. Spicy hot and delicious.

Looks great! PS: I just got some green & red chili powder and dried red chili peppers from Hatch NM... Do you have any more recipes for these ingredients? What do you suggest for storing the dried red peppers? thanks, Con

I does sound easy and it does sound very good but I would add 1/2 chopped green pepper along with the onion. Along with a little pepper sauce and a pinch or two of sugar....yum
