Winter Chili
1/2 lb. ground beef suet
2 lb. coarsely ground beef
3 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tbsp. paprika
3 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. cumin seed
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. white pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. diced sweet pepper
3 cup water
Fry out the suet in a heavy kettle, then add meat and other seasonings. Cook under cover slowly for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Add a little water, depending on how thick you want it and cook for another hour. Serve.
*Johnna’s tip: Chili is a JKGF winter favorite. We really like adding onions, shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream to our chili. Side with some toasted bread or crackers. Stay warm!
