SLOW-COOKER COWBOY CHILI



Slow-Cooker Cowboy Chili image

When I make this recipe, I like it to be so hot it's barely edible, so I put in about a dozen serano peppers. If you want it milder you can just add one or two jalapenos or omit them entirely. I also put canned jalapenos in mine which I don't think are very spicy but they do add a nice peppery flavor. I like to serve this chili in sour dough bread bowls. Note: When I do anything in the slow-cooker, I always wait and add the onions a couple of hours before the end. When you leave onions in a slow-cooker too long they get an upleasant taste which taints the whole dish. This is just a preference of mine; if they don't bother you you can put them in with the rest of the ingredients.

This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off.

I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

TURKEY COWBOY CHILI



Turkey Cowboy Chili image

My sister in law gave me this recipe and I tweaked it a little to my tastes. It is a quick and easy chili that can be ready in one hour - start to finish. You can use ground beef if you'd like. I just dislike the flavor of it, so use extra lean ground turkey instead. I will also note that this is a completely dairy free recipe if that is an issue for you :) Enjoy and let me know if you like it ! *****I like to load up all my recipes with veggies. This is NOT necessary if you're not a veggie fan!

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons chili powder
4 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips

• Use a large pot or Dutch oven to make the chili. This will give the chili plenty of room to simmer and develop its flavor.

• Brown the beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat before adding it to the chili. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.

• Add a variety of beans to the chili, such as kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. This will add flavor, texture, and protein to the chili.

• Use a variety of spices to flavor the chili, such as chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder. You can also add a bit of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

• Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
