All things bowling fill the background of our home lately & although I can say that I can't match their enthusiasm and passion for the sport at this time in my life, I am grateful to tag along for the ride. We've met some great people. The kind of folks who give you a high five when you're up...knuckles when you're down & all sorts of encouragement every week. They take the sport seriously but not themselves. They laugh a lot & they throw amazing parties.
Last night, we co-hosted a little bowling party. Thankful that my sister and brother in law hosted the venue, we arrived with meaty bowling chili in tow. It was garlicky and great!
- 4 (16 ounce) cans of chilli beans
- 1 (16 ounce) can of kidney beans
- 3 pounds lean ground beef
- 2 onions (minced in a food processor)
- 8 garlic cloves minced
- 6 tablespoons chili powder
- 4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 5 teaspoons sugar
- cilantro to garnish
- jalapenos to garnish
- shredded cheese to garnish
- cooked rice
Halve the beans and tomatoes then puree in a food processor then set aside.
Pan fry beef, onion & garlic until the pink is gone from the meat. Drain the meat. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and sugar. Stir in puree & beans/tomatoes. Cook for 15 minutes then garnish with cilantro, jalapenos and or cheese. Serve chili over cooked rice.
Serves 12-14
