Chili on a Rainy Night

Hey everyone....sorry I have been away for awhile...its been busy and cooking has been at a minimum the last week or so but I am back in it. Last night I made chili and I never seem to make it the same but here is my basic recipe:

• 1 lb ground turkey or beef 
• 1/2 a sweet onion, diced small 
• 1/2 green pepper, diced small 
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed 
• Can of green chilis 
• Small can of tomato sauce 
• Can of diced tomatoes 
• Can of red beans 
• 1 tbsp oregano 
• 1 tbsp chili powder 
• 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper 
• Dash of cayenne 
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 
• Topping: shredded cheddar and sour cream 

1. Brown the ground meat with the diced onion and green pepper and garlic. Cook until meat is fully cooked and onions are transparent 
2. Mix together diced tomatoes, green chilis, beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, cayenne, salt, pepper, and the meat mixture. 
3. Top with cilantro and bake in a covered baking dish for 20-30 minutes or until mixture is bubbly. 
4. Top with shredded cheese and sour cream and ENJOY!
