Chili con carne

Is there anyone out there who doesn't like chili con carne? This easy and effective dish is great for parties, especially when hungry teenagers are involved. I always prepare a large quantity of chili, even if it's just for us five, because the leftovers (if there are any) are perfect for freezing and then enjoying on another day, when you don't have time to or feel like cooking.

Ingredients (for 10)

• 1 kg lean ground beef
• 1 extra large onion or 2 medium ones
• olive oil
  
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• salt
• ground chili pepper
• 2 tins red beans
• 1 large tin of canned tomatoes

1. Chop the onion and stir-fry it in olive oil together with the whole cloves of garlic
2. When the onions are getting brown, add the meat and keep stirring until the meat is thoroughly browned too
3. Add the cumin, salt and chili pepper
4. Add the beans (liquid in the tin included)
5. Chop the tomatoes and add them to the casserole (liquid in the tin included).
6. Cook in low heat for around half an hour.
   

Serve with white rice, a green salad, guacamole and, for those who like it hot, Tabasco.
