• If you don’t have cannoli molds, use rolled-up aluminum foil tubes.
• Marsala wine adds flavor and helps with crispiness, but you can substitute white wine or even grape juice.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or beef chuck, diced)

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
• Sour cream (optional, for topping)
• Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef (or beef chuck) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Sauté Veggies: Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pot with the beef. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

6. Adjust Flavor: Taste your chili and adjust seasoning. If it’s too acidic, you can add a little brown sugar to balance it out.

7. Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and green onions.

Optional Add-ins:

• Chopped jalapeños for extra heat
• Corn kernels for a sweet crunch
• Bacon for a smoky twist
