My dad taught me this recipe a few years back when I was first learning how to cook. It's super easy and doesn't take many ingredients. Perfect for that cold lazy day!
I used to use ground beef for this recipe, but I've been on a ground turkey kick lately, and it tastes the same as using beef but it's healthier for you. This chili is even better the next day so feel free to make it ahead of time!
Ingredients:
1-1.5 lb ground turkey or beef (I used turkey)
1 fresh jalapeno, diced (or canned if unavailable, canned is spicier)
1/2 an onion, diced
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can hot Rotel (or mild/medium if you don't want it too spicy)
1 can pinto beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 can of water
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
tomato paste (if it needs thickening)
Directions:
In a large pot or dutch oven, cook turkey, jalapeno, onion, and garlic until meat is cooked all the way through. Add Rotel, beans, tomato sauce, water, and spices to pot. Simmer on low for 3-4 hours, the longer the simmer the better! If you're in a hurry though, omit the water and simmer for 1 hour.
