On a recent week long camping trip I made this chili. Even thought the weather was in the upper 70 everyone loved the comforting feeling a good homemade chili gives you. What makes this a bit different then other homemade chili's is the addition of Kielbasa.
You will need:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb Kielbasa sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 16 oz can kidney beans
1 16 oz can tomato sauce
1 16 oz diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/3 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 tteaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon cumin
Saute ground beef in a large heavy skillet, drain and set aside in a separate dish. Cut sausage into 1/2 inch slices then cut each slice in half. In the same pan, saute sausage until lightly browned, set aside with the ground beef. In the same pan, saute onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft and brown. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes more. Add ground beef and sausage back into pan together remaining ingredients.
Simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Serve with a garnish of sour cream and grated cheddar cheese.
I cooked the several hours. In my book for soups,stew and chili the longer they cook the better they get.
