Time for Chili!

Good Afternoon!

Today I wanted to share with you my favourite chili recipe! Chili is one of my favourite cold weather foods and it can be a great (and very healthy) option! And it doesn't have to be as hot as this:




Andrea's Turkey Beef Chili

Ingredients:
1lb Ground turkey breast (brothers meats)
1lb Extra lean ground beef (brothers meats)
1 package sliced Button Mushrooms
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 large Onion
4 cloves Garlic (or more to taste)
1 can Black Beans
1 can red Kidney Beans
1 can Maple Baked Beans (adds great sweatness and fall flavour)
1 can diced Tomatoes
1 can Sweet Corn
1 package 'Chili' seasoning
1/2 Beer
Hot Sauce to taste

Instructions:

Heat oil in a large pot (dutch oven) saute the onion and garlic until soft then add turkey and beef and mushrooms and cook until the meat is browned.

While meat is browning dump all beans (except maple beans) and the corn in to a colander and rinse. This gets rid of a lot of the added sodium and preservatives.

Once meat is browned add the rest of the ingredients stir and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour.

And that's all there is to it! This makes a great lunch-to-go!

Stay Healthy!
Andrea :)
