With fall coming and a cool day I thought a bowl of chili would be tasty.
1 medium onion chopped
2 small cloves of garlic
bacon fat(maybe a tablespoon)
Pound of hamburger(doing quick chili, slow chili I use hand chopped chuck roast)
1 beer
Pint tomato sauce
tablespoon beef base
pint of cooked pinto beans
Chili powder to taste(I used maybe 1/3 cup mild and a teaspoon of my super hot)
Salt to taste(watch this beef base adds a lot of salt)
Water to cover
Melt bacon fat and add onion and cook until half done, add hamburger and break it up and brown it. When the hamburger is almost browned add the garlic and mild chili powder and cook until the chili powder is fragrant. Then add the beer, tomato sauce, beef base, cooked beans, water to cover and simmer until it thickens up a bit.
