One of my personal favorite winter meals in my dad’s repertoire is his chili. It is super easy to make, is a perfect winter meal to keep you warm, and you can eat for a whole week and not get tired of it.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. of ground beef (or 2 cups of corn for veggie chile)
• 2 lbs. of beans
• 1 large can diced tomatoes
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 can of tomato sauce
• 1 packet of chili spice (or make your own)

Directions

Start by browning the beef in a pan and draining the grease (If not using ground beef, skip this step). Then add all of the other ingredients except the beans to a pot with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Then add the beans and continue to simmer for 1-3 hrs.
