I can't remember the thread I was on, that someone was looking for the chili recipe that I use. Well, I will just start it as a new thread.
I found this recipe online, and I think it cooks up pretty similar to "Wendys Chili". Note, there is tomato juice in this recipe, and you can adjust it if that is your preference.
Ingredients:
18oz ground beef 10% lean ⎘P]
6oz mozzarella cheese ΔP]
3 cup onion (petal) ΐC]
2 cup green pepper (chopped)ΏC]
2 cup red pepper (chopped)ΏC]
4 cup tomato (chopped) ΐ.5C]
2-12oz cans V8 juice ΒC]
3/4 cup canned tomato puree Ώ.5C]
1-1/2cup black beans ΔC]
6 tsp olive oil separate ⎞F]
chili powder
onion powder
nutmeg
basil
allspice
cinnamon
parsley
cilantro
crushed red pepper
sage
Directions:
Brown ground beef, salt & pepper and some spices in 3 tsp of oil.
Place all other ingredients in crock-pot, except for cheese.
Add 2 cups of water. Add browned meat. Add spices to taste. (there is no science to spices, just add as much as you like)
Cook in crock-pot for several hours until hot through out, stirring occasionally.
Divide into 6 serving (2-cup servings) bowls and top each with 1 oz of cheese. May be frozen/refrigerated for later consumption.
Remark: Makes six 3-block meals, 2 cups each

| Thanks! It is a handy recipe to have. Sounds like it is a good thing to keep portioned out in the fridge. In the winter time it would even make a good afternoon snack! |

Your very welcome!
This applies to Linda, too, please let me know how you like it if you have tried it.
I also have another chili recipe. It is for Cincinnati Style Chili. It is a chili that is unique to Cincinnati, Ohio. It is meant to be served over spaghetti. I have adapted it so that I can serve it over spaghetti squash, instead (it would not work with Zone pasta, as the Zone pasta already has protein added, thus it would make the protein content too high).
If anyone is interested, I would share it. However, again, my file is only on written paper (lost my computer file in a failed hard drive that was not properly backed up). So, if you guys and gals would like it, just give me a few days to get it written up, and then I will post it (and save it in my hard drive again!). |
