Chili

Tonight I made chili. I looked at a few websites for recipe ideas, but didn't really use a recipe when I made it. I also didn't measure any of my ingredients because I did it by taste. The ingredients were: ground beef, onions, garlic, yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, beer, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper.
First I cooked the beef and once that was basically done I added the onions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic. Once those cooked for a bit I added chili powder, cumin, oregano and mixed it around. Then I tossed in about 2/3 of a beer that I found in my fridge and let that boil down a bit. Then I tossed in the beans (which were drained and rinsed first) and diced tomatoes. There was too much liquid at this point, so before adding the corn (which only needs to be heated up) I let it boil down for approximately 30 minutes. I tasted it and then added a little more of each of the spices to taste. I topped it off with some sour cream and some shredded cheddar cheese. It was pretty good! My housemate took a bite and then asked to have some herself! Definitely will make this again.
