It's A Chili Kinda Night

With it being cooler weather outside nowadays, I decided to make Chili with corn muffins. Of course, the day I plan to do it, it isn't actually that chilly out LOL! It was in the 30's last week.. and today it was in the 60's.. oh well, it was still really really good :D 

Recipe:
2 lbs hamburger
2 packages of kidney beans
3 big cans of crushed or diced tomatoes (I honestly don't remember the sizes.. LOL! )
3 chili seasoning packages
shredded cheddar cheese
diced onions
sour cream

Directions:
Put the beans in a huge pot of water in the morning. Let them boil for at least 5 hours. This, of course, is instead of soaking them over night. :)
Cook up the 2lbs of hamburger and set aside.
 After the beans become soft, drain off most of the water, leaving about 1/4 of the amount of water that you used.
Add in the hamburger, tomatoes (with their juices), chili seasonings to the beans and cook on low heat for at least 2 hours.
Serve up in bowls with the onions, cheese and sour cream. Corn muffins or crackers are great too. :)

Happy Culinary Experiences
