My daughter received a cookbook for Christmas a few years ago. Every time the weather starts to turn cold my daughter whips up this chili and I can't get enough of it!

Ingredients

  • 1-15 ounce can pinto, kidney, or garbanzo beans
  • 1-14 ounce can stewed tomatoes or whole tomatoes, drained
  • 1-15 ounce can chili beans, undrained
  • 1 medium green sweet pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup tomato juice (she loves v8 so we get a can of that and she gets the rest)
  • 2-3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

How To Make my daughter's awesome chili

  • Step 1
    Empty beans into a colander, rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
  • Step 2
    If using whole tomatoes use scissors to cut them in the can. Put tomatoes, green pepper, onion, tomato juice and chili powder in a saucepan. Stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Step 3
    On medium-high heat bring tomato mixture to a boil. Turn heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add drained beans and undrained chili beans. Stir with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or more until heated through.
  • Step 5
    Serve with sprinkled cheese on top.
  • Step 6
    *Note: If you like meaty chili cook 8 ounces ground beef or turkey in a skillet. Drain fat and stir into the chili along with the beans.
