Teaching Cooking

I have taught basic cooking to my seven children and to classes of elementary children. When my youngest daughter wanted to learn, I found that taking the recipes and making them into a step-by-step format made it easier for her, so here is a blog to hopefully make cooking easier for the beginner.

Zina's Chili

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 8 oz cans tomato sauce
1 large can stewed tomatoes (I use a quart jar of my bottled tomatoes.) Pour off most of the water.
2 cans of kidney beans
2 cans of red beans
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp Chili powder

1. Brown the ground beef.
2. While there is still some pink in the meat, add the celery and onion.  Continue browning the meat.
3. Add the salt and pepper.  Taste the meat at this time to make sure you have enough seasoning.
4.  Add the chili powder. 
5. Add the tomato sauce and the tomatoes.  Let this cook on low heat for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn.
6. Add the beans, both kinds.  Stir them in well and let then simmer on a very low heat for about 10 minutes.  If you like your chili spicier taste it and add more chili or other hot spices.

This should make about 5 quarts of chili.
