One of my favorite places to eat in Nashville is a
place called Norman Couser's, or just Couser's.
It's right across from the zoo in the Woodbine/ Elysian Fields area.
Check it out if you live around Nashville.
I like the homey kinds of food they serve. It's my kind of comfort food.
One time that I was in Couser's, I ordered chili.
Because of a mistake, I was brought a big bowl of something
I'd never seen the likes of.
My chili had spaghetti noodles under it. Now, I almost sent it back,
but decided I would at least taste this weirdness.
I'm glad I did! It was really good.
I spotted this recipe in the Nov. issue of All You and
knew I would have to make it.
I couldn't find it on their website. It may be there, but I
hate when sites make you play hide and seek with a recipe.
The pic is my pic of their pic from the mag, like it?
So here's what you need:
2 pounds of ground beef
salt
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (seeing this a lot lately)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained (I may use 2)
Garnish: cheddar cheese and chopped green onions
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, season with some salt, and drain the fat off.
Add the meat to the crockpot along with 2 cups of water and
everything else except the beans.
Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours.
Add the beans and cook 1 hour longer.
Stir in an additional 1/2 cup of water if too dry.
Don't forget to cook your noodles.
Put the noodles into a bowl, ladle some chili over them
and top with cheese and green onions.
