SWEET HEAT CHILI

I decided to check my inventory of soups in the freezer and was horrified to find no chili. How will I survive these long winter days with it?

I obviously needed to make a big pot immediately. After stopping by the store for the ingredients needed, I was ready to cook. I start by sautéing my onions and jalapenos in hot sauce until the vegetables softened at which point the layering process began. I added chili spices, chili and black beans, diced tomatoes and green chilis, southwest style corn, and chili sauce.

To make this recipe simple, I bought most of the ingredients ready in a can. Big Guy managed the can opening duty and I finished the chili with a healthy amount of brown sugar to bring out the sweet in this dish. I usually let the chili cook for three hours in the oven to give the flavors time to meld into the perfect chili.

I go big with this pot, so I have safely restored my supply of chili in the freezer. I should be able to make it to spring now!
