Chili for the Onion Hater

"I love chili, but have never had much luck making it myself. After a lot of trial and error this is the finished product. My husband hates onions, so it was always hard to try and get the right flavor without them. Then it came to me, puree them and he'll never know they are there!!! The other thing that made this chili work was the use of Chef #487825 's recipe for recipe #250581 ."

directions

  • Soak beans overnight (up to 24 hrs). Drain and rinse.
  • Cook soaked beans in 12 cups water, with pureed onion, 2 whole garlic cloves peeled, and 1 tbsp chili powder for 2 hours, until beans are tender. Add more water to keep beans covered if needed.
  • Drain beans and reserve liquid.
  • Brown ground beef until no longer pink, drain.
  • Mix tomatoes, tomato sauce, and paste together in crock pot.
  • Add spices, salt, pepper, garlic, salsa, ketchup and mix well.
  • Add beans, celery, mushrooms and beef.
  • cook on high for 2 or more hours, add some of the reserved liquid from cooking the beans if it gets too thick (I use about 1/2 the liquid).
  • The spice amounts are just a guide line, add as much or as little as you like to suit your tastes.
