Winter Chili

It’s full on winter, and I’m nesting during this cold snap.  My favorite (and very easy thing to make) during the dark of this season is CHILI!  It is warm, versatile, and delicious.  Also, you can add chili to a ton of other things to give them a kick.  I’m sure everyone has a favorite chili recipe, mine takes a shortcut with a packet of chili seasoning (it’s a Midwest thing).

This recipe is quick and easy, and AWESOME.

Winter Chili

2lbs of very lean ground turkey (go for more lean rather than less)
2 large onions chopped
3 cans of diced tomatoes (I usually do one can of no salt added)
1 can of dark red kidney beans
1 can of pinto beans (or whatever chili bean you like)

2 stalks of celery

1 red pepper (or green or yellow)
2 packages of McCormick’s chili seasoning (I usually mix hot and original)
1 heaping teaspoon minced garlic

And here is the secret ingredient:  1 TB Honey Whiskey (srsly, just go with me on this)

Brown the meat and onions together, draining off the fat when done.

In a stew pot dump all the ingredients together, stirring well.  Cook over medium heat until you can’t resist the smell any longer!  Top with your favorites, I’ve included a list below.

Toppings:

Shredded cheese

Sour Cream

Tortilla Chips or Crackers

Guacamole

Enjoy!

P.S. Check me out, showing off my Roux Spoon!  It is awesome.  It cleans the bottom of the pan better than a spoon, it is wood so it won’t scratch your non-stick pots and pans, and it is so pretty!  You can pick one up here: https://store.nosoc.com/products/cajun-roux-spoon
