Chili

My produce items: Assorted Tomatoes, Shishito Peppers, Sweet Peppers

4 tomatoes
4 small shishito peppers
2 sweet peppers
1/2 yellow onion
2 ears of corn
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of campbell's condensed tomato soup
1 clove of garlic
2 tablespoons of chili powder
2 lbs of lean hamburger meat

Mince garlic and shishito peppers.  Dice tomatoes, onion and sweet peppers.  Add all to a large pot.  Cook on medium heat for 15 minutes.

Boil ears of corn in water until cooked.  Shave off corn from the cob with a knife and add to the pot.  Remove kidney beans from the can and rinse thoroughly.  Add to the pot.  Add condensed tomato soup and chili powder.  Mix well.  Continue to cook on medium heat for another 10 minutes stirring occasionally.


Brown 2 pounds of lean hamburger meat in a skillet.  Drain and add to the pot.  Continue to cook all covered with a lid on low heat for another 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

Serve hot.  Top with cheddar cheese (and/or crackers) if desired.

Serves 8-10

Final Verdict: Delicious!

This chili was sooo yummy.  I don't really like spicy foods and the shishito peppers were very mild as was the chili powder I used.  It had a very tiny kick to it but overall very mild.  You can use non-mild chili powder or add some crushed red peppers to it if you want a spicier chili.  I added cheddar cheese to my chili to help counter act some of the spiciness.  It turned out really delicious.  If you are wanting a vegetarian chili, you could probably just skip the step of adding the ground beef.

  1. I add lentils when I want vegetarian chili. If you're adding lentils, you'll also need to add extra liquid.
