Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 large green pepper, diced
• 10 ounces button mushrooms, diced
• 1 lb 93% chop sirloin
• 2 -4 tablespoons chili powder (depending on taste)
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces sour cream
• 1 (14 ounce) can italian-style tomato sauce
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (14 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained
• meat tenderizer
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Recipe

• 1 separate chop meat in a non-stick pan. sprinkle meat tenderizer over chop meat. cook over medium heat until all meat turns brown. use a spatula to breakup the chop meat as it is cooking. drain excess fat and set aside.
• 2 place olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. when the oil is hot, add green pepper, mushroom, onion powder, and garlic powder. cook until mushrooms brown and shrink, about 3-5 minutes.
• 3 add chop meat, tomato sauce, kidney beans, sugar, and 2 tablespoons chili powder. mix together. simmer for 25 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
• 4 taste. if a more spicier chili is desired, add more chili powder. (note: chili will become spicier as it simmers). continue cooking another 10-15 minutes.
• 5 serve in bowls. sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. add a dollop of sour cream.
