Cold Day Chili

A wonderful tasting and easy making chili dish! It takes hardly any time but it tastes like it took all day :)

What I used:
1lb. ground venison (beef would work as well)
a dash of garlic powder
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 can chili beans (drained)
1 can Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup water
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbs. vinegar
2 tsp. prepared mustard
1tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper

Brown your meat. Put all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Then let let simmer for 10-20 min. Then, you are all done! I added a little sour cream and shredded cheese because we enjoy that, but whatever you want to add is up to your taste buds!

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
