A little box of wonders

Looking for a way to enjoy authentic beef chili taste without too much fuss?  The Mixed Stew crew recommends Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit.  We’ve added a few tweaks to make it have more home made flavor.  Here’s the recipe:

What you will need:

1 large stock pot W/ lid

1 wooden spoon

1 box Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit

2 to 3 lbs ground beef

3 tbspns cooking oil

1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped

3 garlic cloves, chopped small

1 (14.5 oz) can tomato sauce

2 cups water

1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained-well

Cooking and Directions:

Heat stock pot on medium-high heat.  Add oil, onion, and garlic.  Sautee ingredients until onion turns translucent.  Stir occasionally.  Crumble ground beef into pot and cover with lid.  Let beef cook and brown.  This will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.  Stir in tomato sauce, black beans, and water.  Bring to a rolling simmer.  Next, add contents of chili kit except for salt packet.  Mix well with wooden spoon.  Reduce stoves heat to medium-low.  Continue to let the pot’s ingredients slowly simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes.  Stir occasionally.  Serve with warm rice.
