Source of Recipe


From Mom
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
4 medium onions, chopped (2 cups)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 14-1/2-ounce cans tomatoes, cut up
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 14-1/2 ounce can chicken broth
3 medium green, red, and/or yellow sweet peppers, chopped (2-1/4 cups)
2 4-ounce cans diced green chili peppers, drained
2 cooking apples (such as Granny Smith or Jonathan), cored and chopped (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, drained
2/3 cup slivered almonds
Raisins, cheddar cheese, and plain yogurt or dairy sour cream

In a large Dutch oven cook beef, onions, and garlic till meat is brown. Drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, peppers, green chili peppers, apples, chili powder, cocoa, curry, and cinnamon. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer for 1 hour. Add kidney beans and almonds. Heat through. Serve with raisins, cheddar cheese, and yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
