Chili, Team-Fahs Style

Chili Team-Fahs Style

This makes a HUGE crock pot with plenty for dinner plus leftovers – After all, we’re cooking for 6! 

What you need:

1 large onion, diced (or more if you’d like)

1 pound lean ground beef

1 pound hot Italian sausage, casings removed

1 28 oz. can of Bush’s Baked Beans – choose your favorite flavor (I like Country Style and Onion.)

3 10-oz. cans Rotel or 2 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles

1 14 oz. can dark red kidney beans (You can choose just the light or dark red kidney beans if you don’t like a lot of beans in your chili)

1 14 oz. can light red kidney beans

1 14.5 oz. can of tomato sauce

4 or more tablespoons of chili powder – depending on your taste

Crushed red pepper for kick (if you’d like)

Fixin’s  (To me, chili is just a vehicle for fixin’s!)

White rice (We love our chili over rice!)

Scallions/green onions or diced onions

Shredded cheddar cheese

Sour cream

Cilantro (If you haven’t tried cilantro on your chili, please do!)

Diced jalapenos (Optional, of course, but so good!)

Fritos, if you’re really in the mood for a fun chili!

What you need to do:

1. Saute the onion in olive or canola oil, then add in the ground beef and sausage to brown.  Drain well.

2. Add all the cans of stuff!  You can simply add the cans of stuff to the meat in a deep pot, or you can transfer everything to a crock pot.

3. Add the chili powder and crushed red pepper, if you’re using it.

4. Heat to boiling, then simmer on low for half an hour or so, or cook in your crock pot until it’s piping hot – 4 hours on low, 6 or so hours on high.

5. Enjoy!
