DRUG FROM THE 70'S CHILI

This is from ingredients I had available. I make a double batch so I can freeze half.

2 Pounds Lean Ground Beef

1 Large Can (1LB. 13OZ) Goya Black Beans (Any bean or brand will do)

1 Large Can (1LB. 13OZ) Small White Beans (Any bean or brand will do)

2 Large Cans (28 Ounces) Stewed Tomatoes (Generic is fine)

1 Bell Pepper Cut into Small Squares (I used an orange one but any color is good)

3 Medium Tomatillos (Cut into small cubes)

1 Red Onion Diced

1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin

4 Packets of McCormick’s Chili Seasoning Mix

2 Cups V-8 Juice (Tomato Juice is fine)

2 Cups or More Grated Gouda Cheese (Can choose your favorite cheese)

3 Tablespoon Butter or Margarine

4 Garlic Gloves Finely Chopped

1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar

2 Tablespoons or to taste Good Seasons Italian Mix (Dry)

2 Tablespoons Red Roasted Peppers (Optional as garnish)

2 Green Onion or Scallions Chopped Finely (Optional as garnish)

Small Oyster Crackers (Optional as Garnish)

In large deep pan or stew pot cook hamburger, make sure you pour off grease. Add stewed tomatoes, beans, packets of chili seasoning mix, cumin, V-8 juice, balsamic vinegar & Italian dressing mix. In separate sauté pan melt butter and add garlic, onions, peppers and tomatillos. Sauté till soft (caramelized) and add to pot of chili, let simmer and stir in cheese.

If you want to impress your family or invited guests you can place the chili into a large festive bowl and garnish with lines of scallions, red peppers and cheese. See photos. When serving into bowls I top it off with oyster crackers, green onion and a spot of cheese. You can cut this recipes in half if you don’t have the mouths to eat it, the space or option to freeze.
