Dad and Shane's Famous Chili

Growing up we always loved nights when dad cooked.  His chili is the best.  When I went off to college it was the first thing I learned to cook on my own. Over the years, I've added ingredients and modified his recipe.  Now everyone loves my chili, and its not that bad for you.   

1 lb Lean ground beef (92/3)

4 cans Del Monte Diced tomatoes (Zesty style)

3 cans dark red kidney beans

1/2 red onion chopped

1/3 cup chili powder

2 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp black pepper

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp brown sugar (naughty)

1 tsp honey

1 tsp worcestershire sauce

1 tsp texas pete hot sauce

Brown ground beef in a sauce pan, and drain.  Combine all ingredients in a large pot and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours.

My dad always served over white rice, topped with cheese and sour cream with a cornbread twist on the side. Soo good. But, for a healthier alternative try some of these options.
