What makes this chili spooky is that I made it from whatever was in the pantry. Lincoln said it was more like the "sweet" chili they serve here in the Midwestern mid-sized city where I live (and if that doesn't give away my location, nothing will). I found this somewhat offensive as I think the local version of chili is vile. In general, I think chili is lame unless you make my brother-in-law's recipe with ancho chiles. I will try to pry the recipe from him, but until then, let this suffice:
Lame-Ass Halloween White Bean Chili
1 Lb. ground meat (98% lean)
1 tsp. olive oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 Fresh tomato, chopped
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
3 Tbs. tomato paste
1 Can white beans, drained
1 Can corn, drained
1 Can diced tomato
1 Cup water (I told you this was not the best chili ever made, but truth in journalism requires I reveal all)
2% Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream
Egg noodles, spaghetti or macaroni, whatever you have in the pantry
Heat pan, add olive oil and coat pan, add onion and cook until golden and soft, add ground beef. Cook beef until completely brown. Add cayenne pepper and tomato paste and stir until meat is coated. Add beans, fresh tomato, corn, diced tomato and water. Simmer over low to medium heat until liquid is almost cooked off and the chili has the texture of, well, chili. Make noodles. To serve, top noodles with chili and a dollop of 2 percent Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream. Answer the door for trick or treaters and give them lots of candy!
