The original recipe stated that you wouldn’t miss the beans at all in this recipe….. With classic and all around loved recipes like Chili I believe you always have to be very “respectful” in recreating them (#foodsnob LOL)… and they absolutely NAILED IT! This is Chili 🙂 I LOVE Chili and would hate it to taste less filling than it should be (comfort food at it’s best). This recipe will be a sure hit. No one will miss the beans and the flavor is spot on. It’s Friday so get cooking for the weekend people! (and make an extra batch… it’s even better the day after for lunch…)
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb bulk sausage (mild or hot, you choose)

- 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves of garlic minced, or 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 (14,5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices

- 1/3 cup water
- Toppings: Shredded Cheddar, Sliced Green Onions, Sour Cream, Cubed Avocado and Sliced Jalapeno
Instructions
