Tasty Italian Chili
Here's a recipe that I came up with taste a lot like Johnny Carinos Italian Chili.
Tasty Italian Chili
1/2 - 1 lb of hamburger meat
1 T Italian seasoning
1 T garlic powder
2 T of chili powder
1/2 t of ground sage (only if you use hamburger and not Italian sausage)
1 can of diced tomatoes (whole are cheaper and you can cut them yourself)
1 can of navy beans
1 1/2 cups dry noodles (I use the rotini or bowtie)
2 cups of beef broth (I use three cubes and 2 cups of water)
1/2 red bell pepper
1 small jalapeno pepper
1/2 small onion
Salt and Pepper to taste
Place everything in a large pot including raw meat. Cook on low heat for about 45 minutes to an hour. Serve topped with cheese (your choice) and hot french bread feeds about 6 to 8 people.
In the resturant they put Italian sausage but its a bit more expensive so I just use hamburger. Also they do not add noodles but it makes it stretch further if you add it. Hope that you enjoy it a real feeling soup and cost effcient. You may have to add more liquid depends on your taste if you like thick or watery soups.
