BACHELORS CHILI
Living by myself has forced me to start being more creative in the meals that I prepare. I can't make the larger dishes like I used to so I decided to improvise...and this was one of the results. I brought this idea up to a friend of mine that is a dietician, and he thought it was a great way to meet most basic dietary requirements.

Steps:
- Brown beef and drain off the fat.
- Place in a crock-pot.
- Add tomatoes (stewed and whole).
- Add beans, corn and remaining ingredients.
- Cook in crock-pot until ready for serving.
- Now, I keep extra cans of corn and beans next to the crock-pot and as I take a serving, I open another can and add it to the mix.
- I have added Pinto beans, peas, mushrooms, and whole green chili’s as the week progresses and the really unique thing is that by weeks end, the pot you started with only slightly resembles what you have at the end.
- I have even thrown in shrimp and diced chicken to the mixture to make it even tastier.
- This meal can be left on a low setting the whole week and after a while it will morph into almost a gumbo.
- Great to snack on throughtout the day.

Steps:
- In a medium Dutch oven over medium-high heat add the olive oil. Add the ground meat and cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned. Add the onions, bell pepper and jalapeno and cook until softened. Drain excess grease.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne, paprika and 1 cup water. Mix to combine.
- Add the kidney beans and black beans, mix and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Tips:
- Choose the right chili base: You can use beef, pork, chicken, or turkey, or even a combination of meats. If you're using ground meat, brown it well before adding it to the chili.
- Use a variety of beans: Different beans add different flavors and textures to chili. Common choices include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and cannellini beans.
- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to chili. Good choices include onions, bell peppers, carrots, celery, and corn.
- Season your chili well: Chili should have a complex flavor profile that includes a balance of heat, sweetness, and acidity. Common seasonings include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic, and oregano.
- Don't skimp on the liquid: Chili should be thick and hearty, but it shouldn't be dry. Use enough liquid, such as water, broth, or beer, to create a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Simmer your chili for a long time: The longer you simmer your chili, the more time the flavors will have to develop. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer your chili for up to several hours.

No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to end up with a delicious and satisfying bowl of chili. So put on your apron, gather your ingredients, and get cooking!
