Another kitchen experiment...
I decided to make chili with the contents of my fridge and pantry and a crockpot. Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 can white kidney beans
1 can black beans
4 pints of home canned tomatoes
5 small sweet peppers diced
~1 cup green chilies
3 large handfuls sliced mushrooms
1 medium diced onion
1.5 T diced garlic
2 T chili powder
1 t cumin
Black pepper
I browned the hamburger over med low heat with the onions and garlic. Dumped into CP.
Sautéed the mushrooms and sweet peppers in the green chilies and a splash of water. Dumped in CP and added the rest of the ingredients. Stirred very carefully to keep the CP from over flowing. I'll let it simmer on low until I go to bed. Hopefully it will be hearty and tasty with cheese.
