It's one "Chili" Day!

Jambo! Today, I am going to share with you one of my favorite crock pot recipes! Chili! My sister-in-law and I originally made this about two years ago, and I have been addicted ever since! Here's what you need:

Chili
1 1/2lbs hamburger meat
1 small can tomato paste (the smallest kind you can find)
1 16oz can tomato sauce
2 15oz cans reduced sodium dark red kidney beans
1 28oz can chopped tomatoes
1 green pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 1/2 TBSP chili seasoning (below)
1 tsp either Siracha hot sauce, or Cholula hot sauce
Shredded Cheese
Oyster Crackers

Chili Seasoning
This mixture makes a ton! Seal it in an air tight container for up to a year!
4 TBSP chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp paprika
2 TBSP ground cumin
3 tsp sea salt
4 tsp black pepper



Start off by browning your hamburger meat, it doesn't have to be completely cooked through because you are sticking it in your pot to cook! Then, mix together your seasoning, then add 1 1/2 TBSP of seasoning to your pot. (More to taste if you want more kick!) Combine hamburger, and the rest of your ingredients to the pot, and turn on high for 4-6 hours, or until the onions and peppers are soft. Top with cheese & oyster crackers. Enjoy! SO easy right?!

We tend to pair the chili with yummy cornbread muffins, or cinnamon rolls with ooey gooey icing!

Hope you all enjoy this "Chili" day recipe! :)
