Cooking Thursday~Chili

It has been really cold here the past few days.  Along with a very large amount of snow.  But hey it is winter in New York after all.  So lately I've been making a lot of comfort foods.  We are staying bundled up inside.  Yesterday was hubby's first day back to work on his "normal" second shift hours.  I really miss having him here in the evenings.  But I'm so thankful for his job.

 

Ok onto the recipe.  This makes a very large amount of chili.  I wasn't sure about the addition of cloves into the recipe.  But it was really good!!  I always say if you are going to make something like chili, make a lot and freeze the rest.

4 pounds hamburger

3 onions chopped

3 green peppers chopped

2 garlic cloves

4 cans of tomatoes (16 oz.)

4 cans kidney beans

1 can Ro*Tel

2 cans tomato paste

1 cup water

1 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

2 tablespoons chili powder (more if you like it spicier)

Brown the hamburger, onions, green peppers and garlic in a large pot.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Divide between 2 slow cookers.  Cook on low 3-4 hours.
