Red's Chunky Chilli

As little girl, my father held many jobs and one of them was as a chef.
I remember the times he would take me with him because I was never
hungry and I was blessed to eat whatever I desired.

My father has always had the knack to just throw some stuff together
and it turns out like a gourmet meal.  Family and friends often fight to
get their share of the meal.  This chili is inspired by his skills. Thanks Dad!

2 Pounds Ground Beef
2 Large Tomatoes
1 Large Onion
3 Cloves Garlic
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Bell Pepper
1 Bag Frozen Corn
2 Cans Beans-Kidney, Black or Navy
2 Can crushed tomatoes
1 Teaspoon Chili seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper
Shredded Cheese
2 Cups Cooked Basmati Rice


Cook ground meat with 1/2 of the onions and all of the garlic.
Add the pepper and chili seasoning.  Add the crushed tomatoes,
beans & simmer.  Cook the rice in a separate pot according to
package instructions.  Once the chili has simmered for about 30-45
minutes.  Add the frozen corn and the rest of the vegetables, cover
and cook for at least 10-15 minutes.

Place a scoop of rice in the bowl, add the chunky chili and top with
grated cheese of your choice.  Try something different like raw goat
cheese in various flavors or sour cream and chives to top it off.

You can also substitute the ground beef with ground chicken, turkey
veal, lamb, venison or even meat free crumbles. Add hot peppers to
make it spicy.
