Isabel's Chili
Ingredients

- Cumen
- 15 ounce can of diced tomato
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 of a large onion

Chili is such a great winter food, but do you know where it came from? The history of chili is not a well known subject. Chili was made a few hundred years ago by the ancient Aztec, Maya, and Inca. With such an age-old meal, you can’t go wrong!
Foodie Byte: This traditional chili is best served with saltine crackers, but you can add a grilled cheese or dress up the chili with toppings. Don't burn your tongue!
Preparation
- Dice onion and mince garlic.
- Brown the beef in a pan.
- Drain the oil from the beef with a sieve.
- Put drained beef back into the pan and saute with onion and garlic. Stir continuously.
- Add chili powder to taste, and a sprinkle of paprika and cumen; continue to stir.
- Pour in beans and tomato. If it is too thick, add some water.
- Stir until everything blends together. Taste and tweak as seen fit (can add a touch of salt, pepper, sugar, etc.)
- When everything blends together, let it simmer and stir every ten minutes.
- After about 30 minutes, serve!
