#i made chili in my rice cooker using the alow cooker function

[puncivilian]

Good fucking stars I fucking love chili. The ease in which it is assembled from stored ingredients... The way you just cook the beef and throw it in a pot with everything else... Heat till delicious... Warm comfort in a slow cooker. Sprinkle that shit with parmesan and nutritional yeast to be fancy. Freeze it for later. Make a giant pot and have leftovers for days.

MAKE CHILI

Chili a la Puncivilian 2023

1 lb ground beef

1 can diced tomatoes

2 cans of tomato sauce (smaller/reg cans, not tall)

2 cans tomato paste

1 can red kidney beans

1 can white kidney beans

1 can black beans

1-2 tbsp Chili powder

~ 1-2 tsp Paprika

~ 1-2 tsp Cumin

Dash of Salt

Pepper, to taste

(you could leave these three out, really, but I never do:)

Two generous splashes of Worcestershire sauce

Dollop of BBQ sauce of choice

Splash of Soy sauce

(opt.)

1 tbsp Cocoa powder

Spoonful of nutritional yeast

These measurements are pretty loose because meat sauces are one of the only things my mother taught me from a young age. In this case the cocoa powder was an addition I tried from another recipe, along with adding the beans in before serving rather than before cooking in the slow cooker.

1. Brown beef in pan until cooked through. (Optional: add some of the spices and a bit of water and stir until they are incorporated in the browned beef.)

2. Add beef to cooking pot/slow cooker. Add rest of ingredients and stir. (If you don't want softer beans and you're using a slow cooker, consider leaving the beans out until the end of the cooking time)

3. Cook in slow cooker for ~6-8 hours or simmer in a pot on low for several hours, stirring occasionally, for flavours to develop.

4. Eat, freeze, or otherwise use finished chili product as desired.
