Homemade Chili

Ever have those days where it's FREEZING outside and you don't know what to cook? Well, this is by far one of my favorites for a cold winters day. A nice chili. This is one that I got from my mom and where she got it from, well I have no idea to be honest. But it's always been a family favorite and  it's one that is super easy to make. Also there is always left overs because it makes a huge batch which means Navajo Tacos the next night! BONUS!!!

First you take the hamburger, Jimmy Dean sausage, chopped green peppers, chopped onion and garlic and brown over medium heat.

Once meat is browned you will dump in; chili beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes, dry basil, chili powder, salt and pepper.

Once you have everything mixed in you will want to bring it to a boil. Once it is to a boil, cook until thicken.

Then it's time for the toppings. One of my favorites is the lime, it gives it a little zing! So stinking good! Oh, and don't forget that you will most likely have some left over to do Navajo Tacos for the next night.
