Blizzard Chili Recipe

Ingredients

~ 2.5 lbs ground beef
28 ounce (oz) can petite diced tomatoes
28 ounce (oz) can crushed tomatoes
chili seasoning packet
    i.e.
    4 ounce (oz) Six Gun Chili Mixin's
    or
    McCormick Chili mix

Directions

Brown the beef in a skillet or pot.

Add the remaining ingredients, in order. (Note: read instructions on chili seasoning packet. It's better to add "heat" to taste at the table, versus putting it into the pot, and the chili being too hot (spicy) for anyone to eat.)

Simmer on Med/Low for at least 30 minutes. (Longer to let all of the flavors mingle.)

And then the winds started getting stronger. :-(

It is bitterly cold here in southwest Connecticut United States, as the Winter Storm / Blizzard continues to pummel a large swath here in the Northeast US and into Canada. The temperature here is 12 F (-11 C) but with the wind chill it feels like -8 F (-22 C).

I am hoping my power remains on, etc.
