Crock Pot Chilli

Crock Pot Chili

6.5 -7 Quart Crock Pot required

Ingredients
3 - 28oz. Cans of diced Tomatoes
1 - 15oz. Can of Black Beans
1 - 15oz. Can of Pinto Beans
1 - 15oz. Can of Kidney Beans
2 Medium Onions (16 oz.)
2 Medium Green Peppers
1 Jalapeno
2 lbs of the meat of your choice. I use 1 lb of ground Buffalo and 1 lb shredded chicken.

Spices
Pinch of Curry Powder
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Pinch of Cumin
Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper
1 TBS Salt
2-3 TBS Chili Power

First
Chop up the Green Pepper, Onion and Jalapeno

Second
In a frying pan add the Green Pepper, Onion, Jalapeno, meat and 1 TBS of Chili Powder.
The idea is to cook the meat and soften the veggies while allowing the flavors to blend.
** I use Buffalo and Chicken so there is not even enough fat to drain before adding it to the Crock Pot

Second...and a half
Empty all of the cans of Tomatoes and beans into the Crock Pot while the meat and veggies are cooking in the frying pan. (Note: I recommend emptying the beans into a strainer and rinsing them with water before putting them into the crock pot.)

Third
Add the frying pan contents to the Crock Pot

Fourth
Add the remainder of the Spices to the Crock Pot

Fifth
Cook on high for 6-8 hrs

Carbs per Cup = 11 to 13
