Chili con Carne

• 1 lb. hamburger
• 1 #2 can kidney beans
• 1 #2 can tomatoes
• 1 small green pepper, minced
• 1 large onion
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1½ tablespoons chili powder
• 1 clove garlic
• 1½ teaspoon caraway seed, or cumin
• Salt and pepper

Brown hamburger in oil, along with cut-up onion, and minced garlic clove. Add beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper, and the green pepper. Cover and simmer for ½ hour. Mix flour and crushed caraway seeds, or cumin; add slowly to chili mixture and cook 10 minutes longer. Serve over rice.

This recipe is well worth doing if you can wait a little over half an hour for supper. If you can’t wait at all, heat up a can of chili, add a teaspoon of cumin, and serve over instant rice.
