Taco Chili

Last night Charlotte from  http://fathairday.blogspot.com/ posted a recipe for taco soup which can be found at this link http://fathairday.blogspot.com/2010/10/theres-taco-in-my-soup.html.  It sounded really yummy and looked just as good but my family isn't really a fan of soups so I decided to adapt the recipe to make chili.  I have to say that it was delicious and I think this will be my standard chili recipe from here on out.  Here is my list of ingredients:

Taco Chili
3 lbs of hamburger
1 large onion
2 packages taco seasoning
2 tbls of cumin
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans black beans
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans rotel tomatoes with green chiles
1 small can tomato sauce

Toppings:
Lite sour cream
Mexican cheese
Tortilla chips

All I did to prepare the chili was brown the hamburger and onion then drain the grease.  Then dump everything else in and heat through.  I added extra cumin because I love the flavor of cumin but you can leave that out depending on your taste.  Charlotte also used a can of corn and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix but I left those things out.  We topped our taco chili with lite sour cream, mexican cheese and tortilla chips.  Here is what it looked like before I scarved it down.

  1. That looks yummy! I made my own low-carb chili today (no beans). I added too much cayenne and hot sauce.... SPICY! Vee at http://veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com

  2. I've found that if you make your chili alittle to spicy you can add some sour cream to cool it down. I use to hate sour cream but now I love it especially on chili.

  5. Charlotte I have always loved taking recipes and changing them up and trying to create something alittle different. Its fun to be creative in the kitchen. I just had a bowl of chili for lunch today and it was even better the next day.
