  • 2 lbs. ground beef or turkey

  • 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 oz
  • 1 can of water 28 oz
  • 1 large onion minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced or pressed
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper optional - depends on how spicy you want it
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, cook beef in a large pan with the minced onion until browned. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Drain the meat.
  • In a large sauce pan or stock pot over medium heat, add meat (with the onions and garlic) and mix with all other remaining ingredients except the kidney beans.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until you've reached the desired thickness (or if using a slow cooker, cook on high for 4 hours).

  • Top with shredded cheese & sour cream and serve with a side of cornbread.
