Sweet and Spicy Honey Chili

We're having a Chili Cook-Off at work tomorrow, and I decided to make a couple of different chilis, just in case some people weren't able to make the chili that they had planned. I got the first one out of the Marlboro Chili Roundup book that I got in 2002.

Sweet and Spicy Honey Chili

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic (chopped)
  • ½ cup red or green peppers
  • 1 14.5-oz. can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 4-oz. can diced green chili peppers
  • 2 15-oz. cans chili beans
  • 1½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup honey
In a large pan brown the ground beef. Add the onion, garlic and green peppers; continue cooking until the onion is browned. Drain the grease from the pan. Add the tomatoes, chili peppers, chili beans, chili powder, cumin, thyme, salt and cinnamon. Mix well in the pan, and place a lid on the pan and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes. Add honey and stir well. Serve. Addd cheese, crackers, etc. as desired. Excellent with cornbread.
Makes 8-12 servings
