I'm not going to lie, most of my favorite meals are made in my crockpot. There's something about leaving your house in the morning for work/errands/a day full of shopping and fun (in my dreams!) and knowing that dinner is waiting for you at home with little to no prep left. Am I right?! :)
One of my most favorite recipes for this time of year is chili, and it's given a new twist in this recipe. Give it a try!
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 bag frozen tri-color pepper mix
1 bag frozen corn
1 15 oz can black beans
1 15 oz can kidney beans
1 15 oz can solid-pack pumpkin
1 14 oz can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
Directions:
Brown ground beef on the stove.
Place all ingredients in your slow cooker and stir.
Cook on low for as few as 4 to 6 hours. The longer your chili simmers, the better it will be!
Serve over tortilla chips, spaghetti, or corn bread and top with shredded cheese and sour cream.
(Makes 8-10 servings.)
Enjoy!
