Tis the season for..... Chili !

It's fall, there's a cool breeze outside , and it's time for some Chili !!!! I LOVE chili, but don't get to have it very often (husband doesn't like chili - weird, right?) . This is one of my favorite chili recipes. I even went as far as to enter it in a chili cook-off- but I didn't win :-(
This recipe makes a HUGE batch - some for eating now, and some to freeze.

Southwestern Chili -
you'll need : 2 pounds ground beef , 1 1/2 cups chopped onions, 2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) diced tomatoes-undrained, 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans-rinsed & drained, 1 can (15 oz ) tomato sauce, 1 package (10 oz.) frozen corn- thawed , 1 cup salsa , 3/4 cup water, 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies , 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.
** In a Dutch Oven , cook beef & onions over med. heat until meat is no longer pink, then drain. Stir in the remaining ingredients . Simmer , uncovered for 15 min. Serve the desired amount. Cool the remaining chili & transfer to freezer containers. May be frozen for up to 3 months. Yields 10 servings . ****
Serve with some cornbread & enjoy!!
