In the cold winter of New England, it is great to have a spicy meal to warm you up!
My cookbooks are helpful but I like to experiment a bit when making chili, so I make it slightly different each time.
As long as it's made with hamburg,tomatoes,onions,beans, and has spices like chili and cumin, my husband will eat it.
I like it thick and served with grated cheese and cornbread; he likes it with sour cream on top.
This can be doubled for a great number of servings.

How to Make Chili Today and Tomorrow - New England style!
- In a heated Dutch Oven, add the oil, brown the beef, and add the onions,green pepper and garlic. Cook until onions are soft.
- Stir in the tomatoes,tomato sauce,sugar and herbs. Cook uncovered for perhaps fifteen minutes,stirring occasionally. Add the beans and heat for about another ten minutes.
- This can simmer longer, but it is fine after about a half an hour. It's great with some hot cornbread, a little sour cream and or grated cheddar cheese for topping. It is even better the second day. *I used leftover meatloaf this time, and I put everything in the CrockPot, and covered and simmered it this morning, for "my husband's lunch-to-go" and made cornbread to go with it. It was great!
- I like to vary the seasonings,and the measurements aren't always exactly as I've written. I check for the taste and add seasonings if needed; and they can be increased to satisfy your tastes. Salt and Pepper are also added as desired, but I use less now than I have in the past.
