Chili

This is a recipe I got from my mom. And every single time I make it I forget to adjust the spices!  This is not "oh my god my guts on fire!" chili, but it's got more kick to it than I prefer. So, if you don't like the after tingle in your mouth and a running nose  I suggest cutting the spices in half.

1-2 pounds ground beef, turkey or pork
1 medium onion, chopped     (I actually used dried onion and just shake a bunch on)
2 T. butter

1 T. chili powder
1 T. cayenne pepper
1 (28 oz) can dice tomatoes in juice
1 (15.5 oz) can kidney beans
salt

My personal tweak:  1/4 C. barbecue sauce

You can do this all in one stew pot:
1.  Brown meat with onions & butter.
2.  Add all other ingredients and simmer 30-60 mins

Or,
1. Brown meat with onions & butter in skillet.
2. Dump all ingredients in crockpot.
Prepping early in the day?  Set it on a low setting.
Short on time?  Set it on high.
It really just has to heat everything up.

Enjoy with saltines, butter crackers or corn bread!
