OH BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE...TIME FOR A NICE BOWL OF CHILE


My Daddy made the yummiest chile. That's him in the photo taken a few years ago with my neice Courtney and her son, my great nephew, Tanner on Daddy's birthday.
When the weather turns cold and damp there's nothing like it! It's so simple to make and sure to warm you up inside. I have tweaked the recipe just a little. Changed the ground beef to ground turkey, and not as much oil to saute the onion, but, it is still delicious and super easy to make. A very good friend of mine actually won a chile cookoff with the recipe! I hope you will try it and like it as much as we do at our house.
REALLY YUMMY CHILE AND BEANS
Saute one medium onion in two tablespoons olive oil.
Add 1 pound ground turkey. (I use the all white meat) cook with onion until soft.
Season with salt, pepper, chile powder to taste (I use alot of chile powder 2 or 3 tablespoons)
Add 1 large can tomatoes juice and all (cut tomatoes in pieces)
4 regular cans kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
2 small cans campbells condensed tomato soup (or comparable brand) don't add water.
Cook on med high until mixture begins to bubble, then reduce heat, cover pot, and cook on low for about 40 more minutes.
Serve with crackers or corn bread and enjoy!
