First of the Year

Well, after 6 days of traveling from Miami to Greenville, SC we arrived home and needed something for dinner that was hearty but quick. So we made our first batch of chili of the season! We're a bit late in the season for making just now making chili but we've been out of town so much we've hardly eaten at the house. If anyone doesn't know about Chili Magic then you must learn! Chili Magic has the chili beans, juices and spices already in the can. It makes chili so delicious and taste completely homemade but is sooo easy. All you have to do is...

depending on your desired amount of chili -

1 can of chili magic (I use the mild can)

Fresh tomatoes or 1 can of diced tomatoes with onions and green peppers

(we added another can of regular beans just because Ben wanted to do something new)

1 lbs of ground beef (which I season with lots of chili powder, salt, pepper while browning)

1/2 of a chopped yellow onion (brown with beef)

minced garlic (you decide the amount depending on your liking - I love garlic so I use a lot)

Simmer until you can't take it any longer and eat! It's so easy and great for leftovers if you double the batch.
