Kitchen Notes

As the weather turns cold, one of my favorite foods to enjoy is chili! This year, we perfected a new recipe that is one of the best chilis we’ve ever made. Hope everyone enjoys.

Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey

1 (46 fluid ounce) can tomato juice

1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 ½ cups chopped onion

½ cup chopped celery

¼ cup chopped green bell pepper

¼ cup chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon white sugar

1 cup canned red beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

Directions

Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside. Add all ingredients to a large crockpot. Set on high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1 ½ hours, stirring occasionally. Enjoy with toasted bread or perfectly on its own!
