Chili
-----
2 pounds meat (or meat substitute)
1 large onion
1 14-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
1 14-ounce can tomato sauce
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon allspice
2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup dried pinto beans
1 cup dried black beans
Preparation
-----------
1. Pre-soak the dried beans overnight. A quick soak of the beans can be
performed by adding water covering 2 inches over the beans, boiling
the beans for at least a minute and let the beans soak off heat for
an hour.
2. If using ground meat, brown the meat in a pan.
3. Chop the onion and garlic. Mince if preferred.
4. Add the ingredients to slow cooker. Mix the ingredients.
5. Set on high for at 6 hours or 8 on low heat.
6. Pull meat if necessary (not ground or cubed...)
7. Serve. Enjoy.
Notes
-----
I use this quite often for lunches. A half recipe is good for about 4
lunch servings. Play around with the spices and canned tomato
varieties. I often use leftover meat, and am contemplating either
extra beans or cubed tofu for non-meat protein options. Add other
vegetables, or for extra spice and flavor add peppers of your choice.
