Chili

Ingredients

• 1½-2 lbs ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large (14½ oz) diced seeded tomatoes
• 1 small can tomato sauce
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp sugar
• dash oregano
• dash basil
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Brown the beef in a large heavy pot, add the chopped onions and garlic and cook until transparent.
2. Add all the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours, adding water as necessary. I usually end up adding about 2 cups of water in all.
