Calling all cooks

Brody has enjoyed watching the cooking shows on PBS lately. So today while he was helping me make dinner, I decided we would make our own. This is one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy and really yummy. Here it is for you to try. And yes, it has been “chilly” enough for us to eat chili, ( rain for four days!)

1pound ground meat
2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes
2 14 oz cans of kidney beans
1 14 oz can whole corn
2 cups frozen veggies (optional)
2 cups any small pasta (optional)
2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp chili powder

Seriously this is so easy! Brown the meat and drain any juice. When adding cans just throw everything in, no need to drain. Add tomatoes and cook for 2 mins, then add beans & corn. Cook for 5 mins then add veggies and pasta. Add more water if necessary to cover the pasta. Add spices. Stir and bring to a boil. Then turn down heat and simmer for 45 mins. I like to serve it with corn bread, Enjoy!
