It was stormy, cold and rainy this past week and I thought some chili sounded delicious! Plus it’s been forever since I used my slow cooker. I am not a super spicy food person nor do I like all sorts of stuff in my chili. Probably considered boring by some, but I like to think of it as simple :)<\/p>\n
I found several recipes over the years and kinda sorta combined them\/mutated them to my own tastes. I have decided that I like this recipe better than my previous version:<\/p>\n
Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 1\/4 pounds ground turkey (I have found I actually really like turkey chili) Cook first 3 ingredients in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 8 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. <\/p>\n Stir in beer, and cook 2 or 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the beer to simmer in with the meat but not overcook.<\/p>\n Spoon mixture into slow cooker; stir in corn and next 3 ingredients until well blended. Cover and cook on LOW 6-7 hours. <\/p>\n Serve with desired toppings.<\/p>\n Now, it’s not entirely homemade because I used a seasoning packet plus canned tomatoes. Too bad, It’s chili. I wanted it to be easy-peasy and cook all day for me! I made it yesterday and ate some last night and it was delicious! But I am pretty excited to have it for dinner tonight! You know it will taste even better :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was stormy, cold and rainy this past week and I thought some chili sounded delicious!

\n 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
\n 1 (1.25-oz.) envelope chili seasoning mix (I know, I know…cheating but basically chili powder, cumin and pepper I think)
\n 1 (12-oz.) beer (I am not a beer drinker so I just picked a wheat-free pale ale – up to you)
\n 1 1\/2 cups frozen corn kernels
\n 1 (28-oz.) can crushed tomatoes
\n 1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
\n 1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
\n Toppings: shredded Cheddar cheese (some people like chopped red onion – YUCK. But if I serve at a football party, I will put out for others like a good hostess along with oyster\/soup crackers. Plus I’m sure you could add sorts of things to it if you wanted: onions, peppers, different meat as you cook it.)
