Name: Emily's Chili Con Carne with Beans
Ingredients: 1 lb Lean hamburger; 2 tb Peanut oil; 1 lg Yellow onion; chopped; 3 Cloves garlic; crushed; 3 tb Hot chili powder to taste; 1 tb Whole cumin seeds; 1 tb Worcestershire sauce; 1 cn (28-oz) tomatoes; pureed in a blender; 1 Sweet bell pepper; chopped; 1 lb Dried kidney beans; soaked and cooked (see "Texas Chili" reicpe)

I love all the passages in the Bible that take the heart of a mother and then use it to explain other biblical relationships. For example, when God wanted to illustrate His tenderness for His people, He said in Isaiah 66, “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you” (Isa. 66:13). When Paul spoke of his pastor’s heart for the church he said, “But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children” (1 Thes. 2:7). When David considered his hope in the Lord he said, “Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother” (Psm. 131:2).

My mother, Emily Smith, doesn't even remember where she picked up this
recipe, but she has been making it since I was a child. It is pretty basic
American chili, but you can soup it up with cayenne, Tabasco, more chili
powder, or anything else you can think of.
Brown the beef in the oil, along with the onion, garlic, and chili
powder. When the meat is brown and the onion clear, drain the fat and add
remaining ingredients, including the beans. Simmer for at least 1-1/2 hours
or until all is flavorful and the beans are very tender. This is better the
second day.
NOTE: My mother is convinced that cooking the chili powder with  the meat
is much better than simply putting the chili powder into the total mixture.
I am convinced as well!
