Today is a bit cool and dreary so I thought it was a good day for making homemade Chili.  So, that is what I made!

I don't use a recipe for Chili but this is what I put in it:  1 1/2 pounds ground beef (browned and drained), 1 large onion, 1 large orange sweet pepper, 1 green pepper, 2 cans (15 oz) chili ready diced tomatoes, 1 small can tomato paste, 1 can chili ready beans, chili powder, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and enough water to simmer without it sticking to the bottom of the pan.  I simmered it for 45 minutes.

Looks good! Cute dishes.

Teresa, thanks for noticing the dishes. I got those dishes free on freecycle. It was a complete set for 12, brand new, including drinking glasses, serving plate, and matching tablecloth! It was one of my better finds on freecycle. I have used these dishes for several years now in the kitchenette in my room.

Love the dishes. Chili always seems to taste best the next day. I just made homemade veggie soup the other day and am still eating it.

looks yummy! got any for me? I can be there in about 20 minutes,15 if I speed! Lol!

hehe. We put the leftovers in the fridge for another day. We are getting a bunch of leftovers in the fridge to snack on or have for lunches. Its unusual for me to cook more than once in a week, or even once! Nick has a new girlfriend and she cleaned his apartment all up because she's a neat freak. We had to take him the carpet steam cleaner and soap so they could clean carpets and furniture. So, we were right out by you!
