I hate recipes that call for a million things. I don't cook like that and everything tastes pretty good. I'm always in a rush and we aren't fancy eaters.. It's chili time and soup time. I make mine the most simple way and everyone seems to think they are tasty. I never have any left overs.
Veggie soup..
I like hamburger meat in mine, but you can use beef tips.
I fry up about 3 pounds of meat ( we eat on this for a few days)
When I get frozen veggies I cook it longer. But honestly I usually end up grabbing cans. Terrible!
cut 3 large potatoes into cubes, I boil mine until they are done...
You can also just buy the can potatos.. I've used them when I'm in a hurry and they taste just fine..
Carrots get cooked as well first, but the same goes for the canned carrots... I cut up about 5 of those, or 2 cans..
Hamburger meat
2 cans potatoes
2 cans carrots
green beans
yellow can corn
peas
chop up a small onion (if you want)
Throw all your veggies in with your meat after the meat is drained, pour 2 large cans tomato sauce over it all fill 1 can half full of water and add it to your soup. I like mine thick, but if you don't then add more water. I bring all of this to a low heat simmer and I let it cook for about 2 hours. Fresh or frozen veggies I cook a little longer. Thats it.. No package or starter package... I promise it tastes great!! Fry up some corn bread to dip in it.... Yummy..
Chili.. easiest chili ever.
Hamburger meat cooked and drained
onion
bushes chili beans (2-3 cans) I HATE KIDNEY BEANS!!
tomato soup (2-3 cans) fill one half full of water and add it...
I sprinkle a little chili powder. My family likes the taste of the off brand chili powder better.
I boil my spaghetti noodles on the side because only 2 of us like the noodles in our chili..
I let this cook at a low simmer for about an hour.
We always use shredded cheddar cheese to top it.. It's great and literally takes maybe 5 minutes after you have you meat cooked.
Remember to buy some hot dogs for chili dogs, and some Fritos for Frito pies to have with your left over chili.
