Kara's Award-Winning Chili

1 lb Ground beef
1 Chopped onion
1 T Minced garlic
2 T Chili powder
1 T Cumin
1 Jalapeno pepper
4 Cans diced tomatoes
2 Cans of chili beans
2 Cans of black beans
1 Small can of tomato paste
¼ c Honey

Brown ground beef, drain fat. Add onion & garlic and sauté until soft. Add chili powder, cumin and salt & pepper to taste. Add jalapeno pepper (I usually just half it and depending on the desired heat I leave the seeds in or not). Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. It’s always better the next day! I serve with sour cream, cheese, fresh cilantro, lime, fresh tomatoes, & onions.

Enjoy!
