Chili con Carne

StineStine

cobbled together from Birte, Craig Claiborne and the NYTimes cookbook!

ingredients

  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 1/2 C chopped onion
  • 1 -2 T minced garlic
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 2 T chili powder
  • 1 t oregano
  • 1 t cumin
  • bayleaf
  • 1/2 t black pepper
  • hot pepper flakes
  • 4 C tomatoes (I often use 2 of the large cans)
  • 1 T red wine vinegar

directions

  • 1

    Heat oil in heavy skillet. Add onions, garlic and pepper and sauté until golden brown. Add the meat and brown.

  • 2

    Add spices. Stir. Add tomatoes and juice. I often chop the tomatoes in the can, or send tomato juice flying around the kitchen by splitting them in half with a spatula after adding them to the pot. Add red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil and then let it simmer on the stove for about an hour. I tend not to cover it because I always end up adding more tomato juice than I intended to. Always.

    This meal is often even better the next day.
