Winter is here and time to take out the crockpot and prepare those delicious recipes for your family that please the palate and warm your insides. One of my favorites is Chili Con Carne. My family can never get enough on a cold winter day when the windows have frosted over. I prepare it with turkey, olive oil, and cook the dry red kidney beans. I like the leanness of turkey and olive oil is known as a healthy fat. However, you can substitute these with ground beef, vegetable oil, and canned red kidney beans if that is more to your liking. For those who need a time saving meal, the canned beans are the way to go. You can serve this alone with crackers, or with spaghetti, rice, or your choice of sides. Keep it warm in your crockpot until all have had their fill.
Our recipe for Chili Con Carne is with ground turkey, olive oil, tomatoes, red beans, chili powder, peppers, and other seasonings. I like it spicey! For those who don't, leave out the jalapeno peppers to tone it down. Bon Apetit!
Ingredients:
• Dry beans or 2 cans (15 ounces each) red kidney beans or small red beans, drained
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, quartered, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) tomatoes
• 1 can mild green chili peppers
• 2 teaspoons fresh, finely chopped jalapeno chili pepper, optional
• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
• dash ground cloves
• 1 small bay leaf
Preparation:
Prepare dry red kidney beans, unless using canned beans. Rinse dry beans, cover with cold water, and let soak overnight. Drain the dry beans, transfer to a large saucepan, and cover with fresh water. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, or until tender. Drain.
In a large skillet, sautee the onion and peppers. Brown the ground beef in oil. Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, peppers, and seasonings. Place all the ingredients in the crockpot, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, adding a little water if needed to keep from sticking. Check and stir frequently. Add the cooked or canned beans and heat through. Serves 6.
