3 bean crock pot chili
Open the following cans and dump in crockpot
1 can black beans
1 can red kidney beans
1 can pinto beans with jalapeno
2 cans tomatos with grean chilis
1 small can tomato sauce or paste
Now add
1 medium diced onion
1 medium diced green pepper
1 large shredded carrott
Brown 1 lb ground beef with 3-4 strips of bacon cut into small slivers and add to crockpot (don't drain or rinse)
Add spices
2 tspn ground garlic or 5-6 whole cloves smashed/minced
1 tspn paprika
1 tspn cumin
1 tspn cilantro
1 tspn salt
1 tspn black pepper
Chili powder to taste, I usually do about 2-3 tbspns
For spicier chili add more chilis, jalapenos, anaheim or habanero peppers or throw in some cayenne powder or red chili pepper flakes
Cook on low heat 6-7 hours or high heat 3 hours. Also works quicker on stovestop in a dutch oven type pot, slow simmer for aboot 90 minutes.
I recommend serving with rice, some tortilla chips and a cold one
Edit: for heart healthier version sub super lean ground beef, ground turkey, or tofu and reduce bacon to one strip or omit or substitute a low fat turkey kiolbasa or smoked sausage diced into 1 cm cubes. Doesn't taste as good without the bacon though.....
