Crock Pot Chili
15 oz dried (Kidney) Beans
1 package (Ortega) Chili Seasoning
(or your own mix of chili spices)
30 oz crushed tomatoes
2 cups dried TVP (ground beef sized pieces)
1 cup hot water (tap is fine)
1 large onion diced
cumin, chili pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
enough water to keep from burning
- Rinse and soak beans overnight
- mix TVP with hot water, 1/2 onions, and "spices to taste", soak
overnight
- in morning: drain beans, put in crockpot with tomatoes and chili
seasoning mix, add enough water to keep from burning, cook all day
on low while at work
- in evening take 1/2 of bean mix and put in pot. Mix TVP in with
beans in crockpot, cook another two to four hours
- Taste to make sure beans are done. Serve with rice or cornbread,
salad, etc for a meal.
Notes: Can leave out TVP for just "chili beans".
I also added green peppers and chopped mushrooms to the TVP
version.
