Heartland Chili



1 lb lean ground beef
½ cup onion, chopped
½ cup green pepper, chopped
2 cans (16 oz) dark red kidney beans (or light red kidney beans)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, drained
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
½ cup water
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt

In large pan, cook beef, onion and green pepper until meat is browned; drain. 

This is a good recipe for when you want to sink your teeth into something meaty.


Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.

It's a sunny, happy chili!



My Rating: 4/5 "I really love the sweetness that the corn brings to the dish; it's a great counterpoint to its meaty savoriness. The really interesting thing here, to me, was that this was better the second night as leftovers. In fact it really just seemed to keep getting better after storage. I don't know why, but I thought it was a really cool food-superpower."
