Recipe - 10-Can Healthy Crock Pot Chili

Nothing better than coming home from work and smelling a delicious dinner that's already made. That's what I love about crock pots. Throw everything in the pot in the morning, come home, and eat! This recipe is high in protein and fiber.  You can add hot sauce or more jalapeno if you want to clear those sinuses out. Also, you can sub ground beef for the ground turkey, but I prefer the turkey because it's better for you ( and cheaper too!).

Servings- 15



1 lb ground turkey

1 green pepper, chopped

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, diced

1 can (14 oz) corn

2 cans (14 oz) kidney beans

2 cans (14 oz) black beans

1 can (14 oz) garbanzo beans
 
4 cans (14 oz) diced tomatoes

3 tbs diced garlic

5 tbs chili powder

4 tsp cumin

3 tsp black pepper

Shredded cheese

hot sauce, to taste


Add 1 tablespoon  of olive oil to a frying pan.  Add turkey, green pepper and onion. Cook until turkey is just no longer pink and veggies are semi-soft. Do not overcook, as these will be cooking in a crock pot for hours. You can do this step the night before and refrigerate these 3 ingredients until you are ready to add them to the pot.

Add all the ingredients to your largest pot and set on low for about 8 hours. You can speed it up if you wish by setting it on high for 4 hours.

Finish it off by adding hot sauce if you like it spicier ( I enjoy Cholula), and sprinkling shredded cheddar or Mexican blend on top. Enjoy!!!
