Assignment: UGA Dinner Party
The story: Senior journalism major and food lover Brittney Inman performed a kitchen intervention with non-cooking roommate Megan Westmoreland, senior biology major, who says, “I don’t cook because I don’t know how, and I don’t want to burn anything down.”
This chili is as easy it gets. Browning the ground beef and chopping the onion is what takes all your preparation time. Inman uses three types of beans, but you can use your favorite. Leave out the pinto beans, if you prefer, and use 2 cans of kidney beans. Garnish as desired with sour cream, diced green onions, corn chips and shredded cheese.
