Dinner at Home

Chili con Carne

This is Giao's awesome, spicy, all-meat, no-beans chili. It's very low in carbs and it is great for lunch or dinner. Also, since it gets better with age, it's great to eat for lunch at work. We finish it off with some grated cheese, fresh, diced onions and a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.

-3 lbs lean ground beef
-3 cans chopped tomatos
-1 can water
-2 tb beef bullion
-3 large bay leaves
-2 onions, diced
-1/2 cup chili powder
-3 tb granulated garlic
-1 tb ground cumin
-1 tb cayenne
-1 tb paprika

Sautee and onions and the beef together until beef is browned. Drain all fat. Add the remaining ingredients in bring to a boil. Then turn the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, until thick.
