Not Sure


Recipe Introduction

I'm not sure who gave this to my mother-in-law but I give credit where credit is due. This recipe makes alot, it can be halved. This is a favorite of my hubby's. He can't get enough of this. Even my picky daughter loves this. I make this once a month & divide it up to use for chili spaghetti or chili dogs. For our family this will feed us for at least 4 more meals.

List of Ingredients

4 lbs. ground beef
2 quarts water
12 oz. can tomato paste
2 garlic cloves or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
6 whole bay leaves
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
4 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons pepper
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons allspice


Recipe

Brown ground beef; drain. Add other ingredients in a big saucepan. Add ground beef; mix well. Simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves before serving.


Serve this with grated colby/longhorn cheese, oyster crackers & onions on spaghetti or you can use this to make chili dogs using grated cheese & onions.


Tip: Since this recipe makes alot, you can either cut the recipe in half or you can make the large amount & freeze the other half for future use. Enjoy!!!
