Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 cups chopped onions
3 tablespoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce*

Grated cheddar cheese
Sour cream
Additional chopped onion
*Canned chipotle chilies are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Add cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and chipotle chilies; sauté 3 minutes. Mix in 2 1/2 cups water and 1/2 cup cilantro. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover partially and cook 1 1/2 hours, adding more water by 1/4 cupfuls if chili becomes dry. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to simmer before continuing.)

This chili is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices, such as cumin and chili powder.

I added a can of black beans to this chili and it was a great addition. It made the chili even more hearty and filling.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chili was still delicious.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover beef. It's also a great freezer meal.

This chili is a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chipotle chiles if you don't like spicy food.
