yummy chili on a hot day

Yes, I made chili and cornbread for dinner yesterday. Sure, its only like 102 degrees here in Georgia, but my cooking skill are still kind of lacking and there is only so much you can do with ground beef.

My materials for chili

brown the beef - about a pound

I then added chopped onions (i HATE raw onions, but LOVE cooked onions - dont ask) I had 1/2 a small onion left over from the night before

Michael told me to add beer as liquid - this was all I had in the fridge

I added beans, tomatoes, seasons (taco seasoning, paprika, some salt, pepper, but i never add enough). I use 2 cans of diced tomatoes (undrained) and 2 cans of red beans (drained)

I made corn bread to go along. I only made one box (but at like 60 cents a box, I always pick up a couple)

Michael likes to add noodles, so right before he got home I cooked some shells and added them in (dont add noodles early on in the simmering process, they get REALLY mushy)

yumm I like corn bread!

And that was our dinner last night. I needed to add more spices, but Michael ate it (after adding some hot sauce).
