It's been awhile, but not really.

This week is "Been Awhile Week". I'll be crocking some of the go-to meals I used to cook on that big stainless steel appliance in the kitchen that some might say/think collects a lot of dust these days.

"Chili con Carne" (6 quart pot)

~1 lb lean ground beef, browned and drained

~1 onion, chopped

~1 garlic clove, chopped

~1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

~1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce

~1 T chili powder

~3/4 t ground cumin

~1/4 t salt

~1/4 t pepper

~1 can (15 oz) dark red kidney beans

Add all ingredients to crock pot.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

6 servings.

I love my chili. Meaty. Spicy. Yum.
