- Ready In:
- 6hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 16
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 onions, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped (I used regular jarred ones that we put on sandwiches)
- 2 (14 ounce) cans rotel (I used Mild)
- 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce (I used "Hunt's seasoned tomato sauce for Chili")
- 1⁄2 tablespoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 (14 ounce) cans black beans (I used Bush's reduced sodium)
- 1 (14 ounce) can red kidney beans (I used "Hunt's in Chili sauce")
- 1 cup coffee (leftover coffee from earlier in the morning)
directions
- Cook the meat, onions, and green pepper until meat is done.
- Drain excess liquid/grease and add meat mixture to slow cooker.
- Pour both cans of black beans into a strainer and rinse. Shake off excess water and add to slow cooker.
- Pour red kidney beans into strainer and rinse. Shake off excess water and put in a bowl and mash the beans. You can also use a blender or food processor for this. The idea is to mash the beans up because this will thicken the chili and give it that heartiness. Add to slow cooker.
- Add all other ingredients to the slow cooker and mix thoroughly.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.
- * If it's still a little soupy at the end and you want to thicken it, you can add a cornstarch slurry. I use 2 tbls of cornstarch and 2 tlbs of water. Mix in a separate bowl until there are no lumps. Slowly add slurry to the chili and mix chili every 10 minutes or so. I leave the lid off at this point so I can monitor the consistency.
- * I've made the meat mixture first and dumped everything into the crockpot the night before, refrigerated it, and put it in the slow cooker the next morning. It turned out great. Maybe even better because everything marinated in the fridge overnight!
