Time for Chili?

It's a warm hot day and what do I make for dinner? Chili. Not quite a day for it, but it still tasted good.

When I used to make chili, I would brown up some hamburger and then dump in 5 cans - one each of (tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, chili beans, and diced tomatoes). I also added a packet of chili seasoning. Sometimes I also added a cup of cooked elbow macaroni. I never thought about adding macaroni into my chili until I met Ben. It's a Medford, WI thing...or maybe it isn't?

This time, the only can I opened was a can of diced green chilies. I browned up some hamburger along with half an onion and 4 small peppers. I cooked my own beans and used the home made tomato sauce that I made from our garden tomatoes.  I still used a packet of chili seasoning. I think it turned out great. I served it over rice. I also made gluten free corn bread (Pamela's Products). I think it tasted better than the regular corn bread that I used to buy.
