well since summer is sneaking to a close on us, I wanted to share this recipe, just in case he is watching. =) He knows he still has me as a supporter! I actually posted Obama’s Chili Recipe way earlier this year, before he was elected, and I figure I would update and refresh it, since I have made it so much since!
Obama has been using this chili recipe since college and says he would always take it to potluck party.
He says he, “can’t reveal all the secrets, but if you make it right, it’s just got the right amount of bite, the right amount of oomph in it, and it will clear your sinuses.”
Obama Family Chili Recipe
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
Several cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground turkey or beef
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground oregano
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon ground basil
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Several tomatoes, depending on size, chopped
1 can red kidney/chili beans
I have made this several times now. I have found that adding a can/bottle of dank beer (meaning imported brown thick stuff) makes it super delish. And I also add about 1/8 -1/4 teaspoon of Cayenne. I also throw a couple extra shakes of tumeric and cumin. Cut the veggies up as much as you want, or as little as you want. I haven’t tried it with sausage, but I think it would be great with a mild sausage.
Instructions:
Saute onions, green pepper and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and brown. Combine spices together into a mixture, then add to ground meat. Add red wine vinegar. Add tomatoes and let simmer, until tomatoes cook down. Add kidney beans and cook for a few more minutes.
Serve over white or brown rice. Garnish with grated cheddar cheese, onions and sour cream.

This is some wicked good chili, spoken from experience!!! Hail to the Chief, everyone – my BF and I used this recipe for a chili contest (after learning it from Karissa’s original post) and took third place! But I bet if we added the beer and sausage, the sky would have been the limit! Thank you for the update, darlin’!
