Sweet Delicious Chili

(Known at HyVee as Chef Al’s Homemade Chili)

1 pound kidney beans
3 beef bouillon cubes
2 1/2 quarts water
2 medium tomatoes
1 small onion
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 tbsp diced garlic
1 tsp basil
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 c. tomato paste
1 tbsp salt
1 pound cooked ground beef*
1 c. honey
1/2 c. packed brown sugar

1. In a 3-quart stock pot, combine beans, bouillon cubes and water. Boil until beans are tender; set aside.
2. Saute tomatoes, peppers, garlic and basil in olive oil for 3 minutes over medium heat.
3. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, tomato paste and salt to tomato mixture. Cook on low heat for 2 minutes.
4. Add tomato mixture to beans; add ground beef, honey and brown sugar. Simmer for 35 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
5. *Substitute ground bison, venison, turkey or chicken in place of ground beef.

*I serve this with cornbread and sweet tea and all the usual chili fixin’s like cheddar cheese and green onions.
