Not to spicy, depending on how much of each ingredient you use, been a basic recipe in my family for years.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large onions, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried cilantro
2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
8 ounces tomato sauce
16 ounces diced tomatoes with juice or 16 ounces stewed tomatoes, with juice
10 ounces sliced mushrooms, drained
16 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup salsa, i use med. but any heat you like
1 teaspoon sugar
10 ounces refried beans (optional)
shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
sour cream, for topping
chopped green onion, for topping
Directions:
1. Wish I could say mix as usual as most of my recipe cards say that - lol.
2. Brown hamburger with garlic.
3. Add onions, grn. pepper, celery, salt.
4. Pour in tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, Salsa, drained mushrooms.
5. Add cumin, chili powder,stir all together.
6. Add the refried beans if using.
7. Simmer for an 1 1/2 hour.
8. Add sugar and kidney beans and heat through.
9. Sprinkle some of each of the toppings when serving.
10. Basically, it's brown the burger and dump everything else into a pot except the toppings and cook. Use as much Salsa as you want. I started adding a can of refried beans if the sauce seemed to thin. Tastier than using a thickening agent and now I do it all the time if it's needed or not.
