Recipe Introduction


This is my favourite version of chili, that I make often. It is not overly spicy so my daughter will eat it! If you like things spicy, increase the chili powder and cumin. One tip if your child still finds it too spicy, is to add additional canned beans in tomato sauce to their portion. It works! :) This is great with corn bread on the side. NOTE: You can substitute part of the ground beef with TVP (textured vegetable protein, SOY) without reconstituting first. I substitute 1/4 - 1/2 lb of the ground beef with 1/4 - 1/2 cup TVP bits. Add this into the pot at the end, do not saute with the ground beef.



List of Ingredients




1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup onions, chopped (about 1 small onion)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (796 ml) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (796 ml) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (398 ml) can baked beans in tomato sauce, undrained

1 (284 ml) can canned mushroom slices, drained (optional)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 dash cayenne pepper


Recipe



In frying pan, saute ground beef, onions and garlic until beef is browned and onions are translucent. Transfer to slow cooker.
