Well, the heat finally broke (we e ven got a little rain) and I was able to make chili (which I have wanted for weeks). I wanted to skip the spice packet and make my own, so it was off to pinterest I went searching for inspiration.... I found this recipe that was awesome and crazy informative - but I had to tweak it (because that is what I do).
I wanted to make it in the crock-pot and I hate ground beef so I made the following mods:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 2 large onions, diced (I chose yellow and white)
- 2 large peppers, diced fine (optional, I used 3 we had on our pepper plant without the seeds)
- 5 tbsp. minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoons chipotle powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons oregano (I used fresh from the garden)
- 2 cubes beef bullion
- 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- water
- 3 15-ounce cans beans (1 each of kidney, pinto and black)
Throw it all in the crock-pot and cook away. ps, Your house will smell amazing all afternoon.
After your chili is ready, top with light sour cream, avocado and chives for a delicious and filling dinner.
