Recipe Summary My Best Kid-Friendly Chili
The husband and I love chili, and love it spicy! But cooking for 3 little children requires me to tone it down for their taste buds. We like to add a few dashes of Sriracha® or fresh chopped jalapeno and onion to make up for the missing heat. The kids are partial to goldfish crackers on top! But as with any chili, feel free to top it with your favorites. If you are lucky enough to live near an Italian market, the salsiccia is best in our opinion. If not, then you can sub another kind of ground Italian sausage. It may be light on spice, but full of flavor!Ingredients | Kid Friendly Team Names1 green bell pepper1 pound ground beef sirloin1 pound ground salsiccia sausage1 tablespoon olive oil2 onions, diced6 cloves garlic, minced2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, undrained1 cup brewed coffee1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder¼ cup ground cumin¼ cup chili powder1 (28 ounce) can canned crushed tomatoes1 cup water, or as neededsalt to tasteDirectionsSet oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
