1 lb. lean ground chuck or ground turkey
1 onion, finely chopped
1 can “zesty” tomatoes, chunk
1 can plain chunk tomatoes
1 can chili beans with chipotle peppers
1 tbsp. seasoning salt
1 tbsp. dried cilantro
1 tsp. cumin
½ jar tomato sauce (red pepper flavor is good)
1 or 2 red or yellow peppers, chopped
2-3 cups water
Saute meat and onion until browned. Place with other ingredients into a crock-pot on low. Cook for 7-8 hours, adding water and re-warming at the end if needed. If thickening is needed, add 2 tbsp. corn starch and bring to a low boil on the stove until it thickens.
If you don’t own a crock-pot or can’t prep food in the morning, this chili can be simmered over low heat for 30-45 minutes and then thickened if needed.
Good sides or starters: A box of Jiffy cornbread.
