Triple Meat Triple Bean Chili
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
1/3 lb bacon, cooked and chopped
2 cans kidney beans
2 cans pinto beans
2 cans black beans
1 small onion finely chopped
2 15(ish) oz cans tomato sauce
2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes
(I also like adding crushed tomatoes, in which case I use a big can of those with a can of diced and sauce).
1 cup frozen roasted corn from Trader Joe's (my favorite, but no corn, or canned works too)
Seasonings (mix all together):
2 T chili powder
1 T Chili Lime seasoning from Trader Joe's (if you have it; it's amazing!)
1 T cumin
2 T brown sugar
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp ground oregano
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp cayenne (if you like spicy; I rarely add this if the kids are eating it)
Toppings:
Green onion
Sour Cream
Cheese
Corn Chips
Corn Bread
Directions:
Cook bacon and set aside (chop up when cooled). Brown meat together until mostly cooked (in the bacon grease if you choose). Drain meat if needed and add the diced onion. Finish cooking meat with onions until cooked through. Add bacon; add tomatoes and tomato sauce and seasoning mixture; mix well. Drain and rinse beans and add them and the corn. Cook on slow for at least an hour. Then taste and add more seasoning if needed. (I usually end up adding some more chili powder, maybe sugar, and salt & pepper). I think chili is best when you make the night before and reheat on the stove or in the crockpot prior to eating. Crockpot takes about 3-4 hours; stovetop at least 30 minutes. If you like it with more liquid, you can always add some type of stock, or a can of corn with liquid.
Notes:
Use what beans and meat you like; I tend to have these meats on hand and I prefer not using all beef. But any combo usually works well! This is really a double recipe; I make this amount when preparing for about 10-15 people. If it's just our family of 4, then I make half that and we still have a night's worth of leftovers.
