Crock Pot Chili

This is a great healthy meal for a busy family. 
 Get up a 15 minutes earlier in the morning, throw the food in the crock pot, and thank yourself at dinner time!
This recipe is inspired by the Ultimate Chili recipe.



What I used:
  • 1 lb organic ground beef
  •  1 onion
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cans kidney beans
  • 1 can black beans
  • 3 cans stewed tomatoes
  • 1 can of corn
  • 2 celery stocks
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbs chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 dash worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine
STEP 1
Rinse the beans
STEP 2
Cook the onion and ground beef in a skillet.  
Salt and Pepper to taste.
STEP 3
While meat is cooking, chop up celery and bell pepper.
Combine all the ingredients into the crock pot- except the red wine.  Add the red wine in the last 2 hours.  Cook it on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
This is hard to mess up and you can BE CREATIVE with it! 
LET ME KNOW HOW YOU CHANGE IT UP!
 
BONUS:  I doubled my recipe and had plenty of leftovers!
