[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sautee an onion, some garlic cloves, a green pepper (and/or a yellow papper, and/or a red pepper), and a jalapeno pepper. I take the seeds out so it's not very spicy. Add salt and pepper and a ton of cumin.

When this is all sauteed, deglaze the pan with half a bottle of beer. Then dump in a can of black beans, a can of kidney beans, and a can of pinto beans. Add a big can of tomato sauce, a small can of diced tomatoes (with green chilies if you like heat), and about half a container of veggie or chicken broth.

I chop up a small sweet potato in pea sized cubes and put it into the mixture at this point. As it cooks up it softens. I also add a handful of chopped cilantro at this point, and a half packet or so of chili seasoning (or if I'm feeling more homemade, I just add more cumin, chili powder, oregano, and a bit of brown sugar).

You can add more broth if you like it thinner. It's done when the sweet potatoes are soft - about two hours of simmering.

I serve with sour cream, grated cheese, chopped green onions, chopped jalapenos, and chips with guacamole OR cornbread.[b] My husband likes it over macaroni; go figure, it's not bad this way[/b]. [/quote]

Your husband must be from the Midwest. Chili mac is very big there.[/quote]

He is from the Midwest. [b]Where apparently, you also make lasagna with cottage cheese.[/b] The things I do for love...[/quote]

Okay.  That narrows it down further...eastern Missouri or western Illinois? :)[/quote]
