Nice log, man - love the recipes...
Grazie.
Chili, take deux.
In the low carb recipe thread Sinister posted his chili recipe and I decided to give her the old college try.
This is what he posted....
2 (15oz) cans of White Kidney Beans (Cannellini) (drained and rinsed)
2 lbs ground beef
2 bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, or green)
1 1/2c chopped onion
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1-2 tbsp minced jalapeno peppers
2 (14.5oz) cans of diced tomatoes
1 (14.5oz) can of tomato sauce
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp black pepper
---------------------------
I ended up using closer to 2.5 lbs of beef, not as much chili powder because I ran out but supplemented with chili pepper flakes, and I think I bought serrano peppers instead of jalepeno on accident. This pepper related gaff meant it didn't end up being as spicy so I added some sriracha. Also, white kidney beans are apparently the same thing as great northern beans.
I made this in less than 20 minutes because I was running late for work but it was done in the crockpot after 6 hours on low. I liked this chili very much, it's much thicker than my usual chili due to the ground beef instead of stew meat and the presence of tomato sauce.
I wasn't sure about the bell peppers but they ended up being a nice addition. Next time I'll probably slice the onions rather than chop them.
