Very Delicious Chili

Part of this recipe came from a Zone cookbook and the rest I just made up.

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 16 oz ground beef
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 tsp chili powder, or to taste
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp ground pepper
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 7-oz can Herdez Salsa Cacera
• 1 15-oz can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
• 1 15-oz can crushed tomatoes

Heat oil and garlic. Brown meat. Add chopped onions and cook until opaque. Add white wine and cook on high until the wine reduces. Stir in chili, cumin, pepper and salt. Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes. Or you can do what I did and throw all the ingredients into the crock pot after the wine and spices were cooked into the meat mixture, then eat your chili after running your errands. Great with tortilla chips, over tator tots, over (red) baked potatoes, and your favorite toppings (we had creme fraiche, broccoli, bacon, grated Parmesan). This was enough to make several meals.
