Chili Night!

I know it's cliche. I know every man believes his chili is the best. But, if you care to take a dare, I think you will agree that mine is the best. You don't have to admit it to me or your significant other. Consider this a gift from me to you. Now you can quit obsessing over your chili and concentrate on the grill.

Here you go:

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Black pepper to taste
Salt to taste
1 15oz can tomato sauce
2 cans chili beans
1 4oz can green chilies
2 1/2 cups chunky salsa spiced to taste
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin

Combine ground beef, onion, garlic, pepper and salt and cook until beef is browned. Combine remaining ingredients, stir and bring to boil. Add ground beef mixture to the sauce mixture. Bring to boil. Simmer covered on low for 20 minutes.

Serve with your choice of sour cream, peanut butter, cheese and crackers. A cold beer won't hurt either.

So, now you know.
