Hey Amy!

It’s Sunday morning and I am thinking about throwing something in the slow cooker for the men to enjoy this afternoon while watching football. This is a really simple recipe that any skill level can accomplish. It’s easy to create and easy to serve so if you want to toss this together now and get out of the house for the remainder of the day, those less skilled in the kitchen can dish it up for themselves later. Any of this sound familiar to you?

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef (or turkey)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2-16 oz. cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1-15 oz. can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c. salsa
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese (garnish)
1/4 c. diced onions (garnish)
4 tsp. sliced black olives (garnish)

In large skillet, brown meat with onion. Drain fat and place in slow cooker with chili powder, tomatoes, beans and salsa. Stir well. Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours. Chili will be bubbly when ready. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve with cheese, onion and olives as garnish.

If you have time to make some cornbread, it will complete the meal. Or cheat and pick up a loaf at the bakery!
