MamaBean’s Chili

Especially satisfying in the wintertime.  Freezes very well.  Mix in sour cream for a creamy, tangy chili (my fav).  Or toss in some shredded cheddar cheese.  I’ve been making this version for a few years now and no longer tempted to tweak it.
INGREDIENTS
  • 2 LB ground turkey (or beef)
  • 2 medium onions (diced)
  • 2 green bell peppers (roughly chopped)
  • 1-15.5 oz can dark red kidney beans (drained)
  • 1-15.5 oz can light red kidney beans (drained)
  • 1-10 oz can  Ro*Tel (mild or original, depending on your spicy sensitivity)
  • 1-14.5 oz can Hunts Petite Diced Tomatoes
  • 2-15 oz cans Hunts Tomato Sauce
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1-½ TBSP chili powder
  • 1 TSP salt
  • 1 TSP white pepper
  • 1-½ TSP cumin
  • ⅛ TSP cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
  1. Brown ground turkey/beef with onions and green bell peppers.
  2. Combine seasoning in a small bowl:  garlic, chili powder, salt, white pepper, cumin, cinnamon.
  3. Once turkey/beef is browned and crumbled, start dumping in… beans, Ro*Tel, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasoning.
  4. Stir it up, cover and bring to boil.  Turn heat back and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
