Jen's way quick chili

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ pounds Ground meat, * see note
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
4 Cloves garlic, chopped
Ground chili peppers, to taste
3 tablespoons Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Oregano
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 10 oz can Ro-tel tomatoes, undrained
1 can Beer
Salt, to taste

Directions

1) Brown the meat, drain off most of the fat, add onions and garlic. Saute til translucent. 2) Add the ground chiles (I have pure ground chiles, not chili powder, but use what you've got. I probably use 6-7 tablespoons), cumin, and oregano. Saute for a few more minutes. 3) Add the tomatoes (plain and Ro-Tel), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer @ 15 minutes. 4) After 15 minutes add the beer, and continue to simmer another 15 minutes or so, til you get the desired consistency.

NOTES : You may use any kind of meat or meat substitute you desire, it works (at least for me, I was a veggie for 3 years) Also, this is my catch-all quick burrito filling, taco salad mess etc etc, and if one insists, you may add beans.
