Simple chili recipe. The spices listed are the spices included in 1 package of Carroll Shelby's Original Texas Brand Chili Kit, except for the cumin and black pepper. I throw away the masa flour. You can use dried herbs instead of fresh for the basil/parsley. Cilantro should be fresh though. Makes 6 big servings.

Ingredients

596	grams ground beef, browned (2 lbs 90% lean, browned and drained)
6	cups black beans (4 15oz cans, rinsed and drained)
1 1/4	cups tomatoes (1 can diced chilies and tomatoes, I use Ro*Tel, do not drain)
1	large white onion, diced
8	oz tomato sauce (Hunts or similar)
16	oz water
1	tsp salt
1/4	tsp black pepper
1/2	tsp cayenne pepper
6	tbsp chili powder
1/8	tsp ground cumin
2	tbsp lime juice
1	clove garlic, finely chopped
2	tbsp fresh cilantro
2	tbsp fresh basil
2	tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

1. Brown the ground beef, drain the oil. You can use leaner ground beef if you want but this recipe is already an A. :)
   
   
2. Dump everything in a big pot and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Cover and simmer on low for at least 20 minutes. Even better, slow cook it in a crock pot! I'm sure this would taste great after four hours on low!
