Tequila Chili

6 to 8 servings

This dish features chili made with tequila. It only requires one pot and is tasty and filling.  Serve with crackers and a salad.

Ingredients

1 pound chuck ground beef

1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian stewed tomatoes, chopped

1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

1 cup of onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic cloves, minced

3 tablespoons tequila

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large pot over medium heat cook the ground beef until the beef is well crumbled and is no longer pink.  Drain the excess fat.  Then add the stewed tomatoes that have been chopped, kidney beans, tomato sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, tequila and spices.  Simmer for about 25 minutes. Stir from time to time to keep the chili from sticking to the pan.  The alcohol in the tequila should cook off making it suitable for the whole family to enjoy.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream or with other toppings that you like.

Notes

You can modify this recipe to your own tastes.  You can substitute ground turkey for the beef.  To make it spicier you can add chili peppers or cayenne pepper.  Add additional ingredients that you like such as chopped green peppers or sliced mushrooms.
