Three Bean Mexican Chili
By Christy’s Clipart
Description:
This is my favorite Chili Recipe and it freezes well. I use 2 cans of baked beans and a can of rotel tomatoes. I don’t use the stewed tomatoes but i do add a couple palm fulls of cumin.
Ingredients:
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 Tbsp. oil
1 lb. Ground turkey or ground beef
1 can (1 lb. 12 oz.) brick oven baked beans, UNDRAINED
1 can (15 oz.) garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (15 oz.) dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (14.5 oz. Each) Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, drained and chopped
3 c. mild salsa
1 c. chicken broth
1 Tbsp. Chili powder
Directions:
To freeze: Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add meat, onion, garlic and peppers. Cook and stir until meat is no longer pink; drain. Return meat mixture to pot. Stir in all beans, tomatoes, salsa, broth, and chili powder. Bring to boil over medium heat; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool, and ladle into 1 gallon Ziploc freezer bags. Lay flat to freeze.

To cook: Thaw in refrigerator. Reheat on stovetop or in crock-pot. Serve garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired. Serves 10
