Bee's Beef Chili

We've been enjoying our Fools Spring out here in Colorado, but the weather is about to turn once again. What better to prep for chilly weather than a crockpot full of chili! You're going to love my gluten-free, spicy chili recipe:

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. organic beef

• 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans

• 1 (15 oz.) can black beans

• 1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans

• 1 yellow onion (diced)

• 5 cloves garlic (minced)

• 3 tbsp chili powder

• 2 tbsp cumin

• 2 tbsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp dried parsley

• .5 cup jalapenos

• 1 sweet potato (diced)

• salt

• pepper

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 (14.5 oz.) cans Trader Joe's Organic Diced & Fire Roasted Tomatoes & Green Chiles

• scallions (chopped)

• shredded cheese

• sour cream

• tortilla chips

The Process

• add olive oil to pan on medium heat then add ground beef, onion, garlic, & salt/pepper to taste

• once beef is browned, dump mixture from the pan into your 6qt crockpot

• rinse kidney, pinto, & black beans then stir into crockpot

• mix in diced sweet potato, jalapenos, & Trader Joe's Organic Diced & Fire Roasted Tomatoes & Green Chiles

• stir in all seasonings: chili powder, garlic powder, parsley, cumin, salt/pepper (to taste)

• add water up to the fill line of the crockpot

• cook on low for 8 hrs.

• after 8 hours, scoop yourself a bowl, let cool, & top with sour cream, scallions, cheese, tortilla chips, & more jalapenos!

Pro Tips

• Personally, I go with Westbrae Natural for my beans - they're organic & have no added salt, so you do not have to worry about all of the extra sodium that typically comes with canned beans
