Harper's Chili*

List of Ingredients


1 lb ground Turkey (or Beef)
1 C Chopped Celery
2 cloves Minced Garlic
1 medium Chopped Onion
1 (16 oz) can Pinto (or Kidney Beans)
1 (16 oz) can Diced Tomatoes
1/2 minced jalepeno pepper (add more if desired)
1 recipe of Chili Seasoning Mix (see Mixes in index)


Recipe

Brown ground Turkey (or Beef), Celery, Garlic and Onion, in a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat; drain, if necessary. Add 1 (16 oz) can Pinto (or Kidney Beans), 1 (16 oz) can Diced Tomatoes, 1/2 minced jalepeno pepper (add more if desired) and 1 pkg ofChili Seasoning Mix. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
I brown the turkey in a small amount of bacon fat or I sometimes add 1-2 strips snipped bacon to the raw turkey. I almost always serve this with cooked elbow macaroni to make 'Chili Mac'.
I top each bowlful with grated Cheddar. Also, great served with a pan of piping hot cornbread or in cornbread cups (listed in my index under Misc.).
A bowl of this will surely warm anyones bones.
