Author Notes
This recipe is inspired by Emeril Lagasse's Emeril's Chili. I decided to make it unique with ingredients that I had in my pantry. I liked this recipe because it uses stew meat. I have added a can of red kidney beans to the chili and it's delicious. It's a quick and simple recipe. If you want to make more, add more stew meat and onions. I like this size because I can make it for myself and either take it to work the next day or freeze it for a treat on a very cold day. I serve the chili with cheese, onions and crackers. —chrissyb

Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
chili powder
-
1 teaspoon
crushed oregano
-
1
clove of garlic - minced
-
1 cup
water
-
14.5 ounces
diced tomatoes
-
4 ounces
diced green chiles
Directions
-
Measure out the chili powder, oregano, cumin and minced garlic clove. Set the spices aside.
-
Pour the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a medium sized pot over medium heat.
-
Chop the onion and put into the oiled pot when the oil is hot. Saute until the onions are translucent. About 5 minutes.
-
Lightly season the stew meat with salt and pepper.
-
When the onions are soft and translucent, place the stew meat into the pot and brown for about 5-6 minutes.
-
When the meat is browned, add the bowl of spices and stir.
-
When the meat and spices are combined well, add the diced tomatoes, diced green chiles and 1 cup water.
-
Simmer the chili on low for 45 minutes.
If the chili is thinner then you like, add a mixer of 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup of water. Simmering on the stove does make the chili thicker.
