Time to try another product from Bear Creek: "Darn Good" Chili!
You can certainly follow the package directions and enjoy this meal "as is." But, as with most things I try in the kitchen, it's always fun to experiment and add in some extras to make it my own.
Here's what I used:
2 lbs. ground chuck
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 T. minced garlic
1 heaping t. ground cumin
1 package Bear Creek "Darn Good" Chili mix
7 cups water
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (14.5) can diced tomatoes
1 small can fire roasted diced chiles
In a 5 quart Dutch oven, brown the ground chuck, onion, and garlic over medium high heat.
When the meat is cooked through, stir in the ground cumin, and cook for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add in the chili mix, water, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and roasted chiles. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Let chili cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
We enjoyed this chili a lot. Super easy and ready to eat in less than 30 minutes. It had a nice flavor and the heat level was mild. You could certainly add a can of Rotel tomatoes or season with your favorite hot sauce if you need some heat.
We'd definitely buy again to stock the pantry!
