I make this chili from cookout leftovers. It is so easy and delicious! The smoky flavor really makes this chili a winner. You could also chop up your leftover hamburgers and hot dogs and freeze them. Pull them out in the middle of winter and make up a batch of this chili when you haven't had anything grilled in a while...yummm!

Makes 6 servings.

You'll need...

3 or 4 grilled hamburgers, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks

4 or 5 grilled hot dogs, same

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

olive oil

28 oz can of diced tomatoes

6 oz can of tomato paste

15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed

10 oz box of frozen corn

16 oz (give or take) of beef broth

2 T chili powder

1 t ground cumin

Drizzle some olive oil in the bottom of a large pot and heat. Put the chopped garlic in the heated oil and saute for 30 seconds then add the onions. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the meat, tomatoes and juice, tomato paste, beans, and corn. Mix well. Add beef broth to desired thickness. Mix in seasonings and allow the chili to simmer for 30 - 45 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green onions.
