1 cup uncooked rice
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 can chili beans (15 oz) (pinto, kidney, black)
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
1 cup grated cheese
1 pound buffalo optional
1/2 can tomatoe sauce optional

Steps:

  • Cook rice, according to package directions. I use 1/2 the amount called for. Saute garlic, onion, green pepper, and spices in olive oil until onion is transkucent, about five minutes. if using meat, I add it in now and cook until done. Add in remaining ingredients and heat. Serve over cooked rice. I add in tomatoe sauce if adding in meat. I also add rice in directly to chili and use tomatoe sauce to thin chili. Top with grated cheese and sour cream. Salt and Pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the chili. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and develop their flavors.
  • Brown the beef and sausage before adding them to the chili. This will help to give the chili a richer flavor.
  • Use a variety of beans in your chili. This will add texture and flavor to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste preferences.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, and onions.
