Classic Chili Recipe for Colorado Winter

We are all aware that Colorado winters can be bitter, cold, and downright unpleasant. One of the staples to warm up any night is chili. Try out this chili recipe for the whole family:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion (diced)
1 jalepeno pepper (seeded and diced)
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 28 oz. can whole, peeled crushed tomatoes
2 15.5 oz. cans kidney beans

1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and break up the meat for about 5 minutes (or until browned). Remove meat and set aside.

2. Heat remaining oil in pot. Add onions and cook until golden brown. Add jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and jalapeño are soft.

3. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and tomato paste. Add salt and pepper to preferred taste. Cook, stirring regularly, until coated (about 1-2 minutes).

4. Stir in beef broth and crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil with high heat. Stir in ground beef and reduce heat to low to simmer for 30 minutes.

5. Stir in beans and their liquid and simmer until the beans soften and chili thickens (another 30 minutes).

6. Serve with sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortilla chips.

Winter Tips to Take Care of Your Home

There are some extra things that we need to do as Colorado homeowners throughout the winter in order to take care of our homes and make sure things keep working correctly. Here are just a couple of things to keep in mind:

Make sure to shovel your sidewalk and driveway when it snows. Not only can the accumulated ice be dangerous, but it helps out your neighbors by keeping the sidewalk clear. Another good tip is to avoid using rock salt, as it eats away at concrete!
Be sure to check your plumbing pipes and sprinkler systems to make sure they don’t freeze. Insulated pipes are a great way to ensure pipes don’t freeze, and many local lawn care companies will blowout your sprinklers if you are unable to.
Clear debris and ice jams from gutter systems. When your gutters and water runoff doesn’t work properly, you may get ice buildup or leaking water on your walkways, or worse, inside your home! Make sure to check your gutter systems or install heat tape if needed.
