Double-Cheese Chili

Think of this bowl of red chili as a hearty classic with a twist: That cheese at the bottom of the dish is like the surprise ending of a great movie.

My first attempt at Chili and the recipe sounded very easy and it was!!! I read through some of the reviews and one suggested to add the meat at the end so that is what I did. I used ground turkey instead of beef to make it healthier. My husband praised it by saying he didn't want to share it with anyone. It does make a large pot enough to freeze or share. I might half the recipe next time. I had bought corn bread to go with it, sprinkled cheese on top, broke up crackers and topped it with a dollop of sour cream just for a variety of ways to serve it. Very, very good and very, very easy.

This was very good and easy to make, though I did make a few adjustments. I used very lean ground beef. I kept to the 1 tablespoon of chili powder, but added 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. I used about 1 cup of coarsely chopped onions and cooked them with the ground beef. As with most recipes that use some sort of canned tomatoes, I added 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of brown sugar. Served over cooked spaghetti noodles (my picky husband won't eat just chili) and garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and "light" sour cream. With cornbread on the side, of course. Everyone ate it up and there were no leftovers!
