Chili

This recipe makes a big pot.  If I we don't eat it all, I will usually just put it into a ziplock bag and freeze it for another meal.

 

Good Olive Oil

1 package (1.5lbs.) ground turkey or beef

2 large onions, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons cumin powder

2 teaspoons dried oregano

Red pepper flakes (optional and whatever you prefer)

2 teaspoons sea salt

2 (32 oz.) bottles or cans diced tomatoes ( I like to use the fire roasted if I can get it on sale at Sprout's)

2 (15 oz.) cans rinsed and drained pinto beans

2 (15 oz.) cans rinsed and drained black beans

 

Heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over med-high heat and add the meat.  Chop onions, add.  Chop garlic, add.  Add the seasonings and the tomatoes and beans.  Add about 1-2 cups water depending on how thick you want it.  Simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or all day on low in the crockpot.  Serve with any of the following:

 

sour cream

chopped green onions

shredded sharp cheddar cheese

sliced avocado

corn bread

green salad
