I made chili Monday.
11/2 pounds COARSE ground 15% fat beef
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans whole tomato
1 can kidney beans
1 good size sweet onion
2 tbs rough cut fresh oregano(estimate)
2 or three chopped cloves garlic
1 tbs cumin
3 tbs chili powder
Brown sugar to taste(optional)
Salt to taste

Brown meat in a 4-5 quart Dutch oven if you have one. Add garlic and onion and cook until onion is soft and transparent. Add everything else and cook an hour. You can cook it longer which makes for a rich taste just cover it if it starts to get too thick. I used a chipolte chili powder on a whim. It was good and added a lot of smokey flavor. That said it was a bit too smokey. I think I had a taste for really traditional chili taste and the bit of smoke threw me off. It is a nice twist if you are trying to have your dish stand out as different but I might try like a tbs. chipolte and the rest traditional chili powder. Anyone know the difference between chili powder and Mexican chili powder? That might be good to try. I also considered a little sherry but was not willing to trash the whole dish on an experiment.

Cool, I've never made a cake but that one doesn't look too difficult... maybe I'll give it a try one of these evenings.
