I'm a crock pot lovin', cassarole cookin' homeschool mamma... That is the way it is around here! I LOVE to cook, but with the schedules we keep, it gets crazy. I find that when I cook dinner in the morning, the afternoons go much better.
I will hopefully be posting some of my faves over here and I hope that THOUSANDS will join me! I'm always looking for a new healthy recipes....heaven knows I have enough books!!
This is one of those tried and true recipes that I found YEARS ago... If you like Wendy's chili, this tastes JUST LIKE THE REAL THING!!
2 lbs. ground beef (I use organic 93% lean) 29 ounce can tomato sauce 29 oz. can kidney beans (with liquid) 1 C diced onion 1/2 C diced green chili (can works fine) 1/4 stalk celery 3 med. tomatoes, chopped (I used diced in a can and drain them, if the tomatoes aren't good) 2 t cumin powder 3 T chili powder 1 1/2 t black pepper 2 t salt 2 C water
Brown ground beef in skillet, drain off fat. ***DID YOU KNOW if you rinse the meat you bring the fat to 5 grams after rinsing....**** JUST REMEMBER TO RESEASON
Using a fork, crumble beef into pea size pieces In a large pot add beef and all other ingredients and simmer over low for 2 ~3 hours!
makes about 12 servings... good for lunch the next day!!
