Tennessee Pride Chili
Why I Love This Recipe
When I first got married and moved up north my mom gave me this recipe. I've made it many times and I love it because I can spice it up or tone it down for company.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 pound ground sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 28 oz can whole tomatoes, undrained
2 16 oz cans red kidney beans
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup water
Directions
Saute sausage and ground beef, onion, green pepper, and garlic in a large, heavy saucepan until browned, stirring to crumble sausage; drain excess grease.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Break tomatoes with back of wooden spoon.
Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Additional water may be added if needed.
