MY PENZEYS

Chili is one of the easiest, most satisfying meals for a casual party. This recipe from the Bergerons is perfect for football Sundays.

2 lbs. ground beef
2 Cups chopped onion (2 large)
2-3 TB. chopped garlic (or 1-2 tsp. PENZEYS MINCED GARLIC)
4 TB. CHILI POWDER (REGULAR, MEDIUM or HOT)
2-3 TB. GROUND CUMIN
2 15 oz. cans ranch-style beans, drained and rinsed (if you can't find these Texas beans, replace with more kidney beans)
2 16-oz. cans refried beans
1 15 oz. can kidney beans
2 Cups chunky salsa
1 12-oz. can beer or 11/2 Cups warm water mixed with 1 tsp. BEEF SOUP BASE
1/4 Cup lime juice (juice of 2 limes)
sour cream (optional)

In a large stockpot, cook the ground beef, onion, garlic and SPICES over medium high heat until the meat is browned and the onion is tender, 15 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Stir in the beans, salsa and beer or beef broth, stir well, turn heat to low and let simmer until thickened and the flavors have melded, 1-2 hours. Stir in the lime juice just before serving. To serve, ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with sour cream, if desired.
