Chili

1-2 pounds ground meat, lean (meat of your choice)
1 medium onion chopped
Tablespoon fresh ground garlic
Olive oil
1-2 bell peppers chopped (I prefer red or yellow, but green
will do)
1-2 15 ounce cans of stewed tomatoes
½ tsp of baking soda (to cut acidity)
1 package Lawry’s taco seasoning
1 or 2 cans 15 ounce each of Kidney Beans (drained)

On medium heat, in a large frying pan, Sauté chopped onion,
garlic and a bit of the peppers in olive oil until onions are
clear. Add meat, continue cooking until meat is cooked
through adding the rest of the bell peppers when you think
the meat is about half way done. Add Lawry’s seasoning and
mix well into your concoction. Add beans, tomatoes and baking
soda, simmer until cooked through. When you are ready to add
tomatoes you may wish to switch to a large soup pot, as the
Frying pan might not be large enough to handle the volume. I
like to make Jiffy Corn Muffins and honey butter to go with
the chili.
