It was a chilly day in Payson, and I was on the go all day. It is Veteran's Day and it seems like everyone has somewhere to be and guess who is the taxi?? I knew this when the day started, so I decided to make Chili with my left over beans from yesterday. This meal was VERY reasonable. Here's the recipe:
o 3 cups pinto beans
o 2 cans stewed tomatoes
o 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
o 1/4 cup chopped red onion (double the flavor, 1/2 the onion)
o 1 tsp salt
o 1/2 tsp pepper
o 2 tbs minced garlic
o 2 tbs cilantro (I used dried)
o 2 tsp ground cumin
Brown ground beef with seasonings and onions. Once browned, put into crockpot along with beans & tomatoes. Cook on high for 2-3 hours, low for 4-6 hours. And you are done. Garnish with shredded chedder cheese if desired. Simple and best of all delicious!
