Ch-ch-ch-chili Cook-off

Our ward had a party with several activities for the kids...the usual stuff, and a chili cook-off. The Elder's Quorum was in charge of it, and since Tim was in the Elder's Quorum we got suckered into participating. We had a busy day that day so we came up with the fastest chili recipe we could find...turns out, it was kind of a hit. We got 3rd place in the contest (out of about 16) but the funniest part is that people still come up to us and talk to us about our chili (maybe we're just dull and there is nothing else to talk to us about...hmm) and this week at church I got a few requests for the recipe. I told them, there really isn't a recipe and that we just opened up all the cans in our cupboard and dumped them in...they asked me to do the best I could. So, for all who are interested in our Award Winning Chili, here you go.

1 can light red kidney beans
1 can dark red kidney beans
1 can black beans
1 can corn
1 can olives
1 can diced or stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce

Ground beef (However much you want to get rid of. I usually say less is more and big chunks are better). Cook this through with onion, and peppers, and garlic if you like them. Add 1 package chili seasoning (or less to taste) to meat after you drain the grease off.

Bring all ingredients to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.

Serve with scoops corn chips and sour cream.
