Sweet Chili

I have been in the mood for chili and I assume it’s from this beautiful winter weather we're enjoying. This is a recipe I threw together years ago and my mom even uses it for her chili recipe. You can add or omit things to your taste and make it as spicy or as sweet as you like.





Cindy’s Sweet Chili

1 lb ground beef, buffalo, or turkey
2 t Chili powder
1 t Cinnamon
1 medium onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 sweet bell pepper
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can corn
1 can pinto beans
2 cans organic tomato sauce
Brown sugar to taste
Cheddar, shredded
GF crackers (Glutino and Schar work great)

In a large skillet season the hamburger with chili powder and cinnamon then brown with the onion and garlic. The more chili powder you use the spicier it will be so adjust to your taste. Once the hamburger is no longer pink add the bell pepper, garbanzo beans, corn, pinto beans, and tomato sauce. Stir together then allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the garbanzo beans are soft. Add the brown sugar to taste, I love sweet chili so I do two handfuls and let it simmer for a couple minutes then taste to see if I need more or if it’s perfect.

Serve topped with cheddar and crushed GF crackers.
