My Final Weight Loss Journey

I served this Christmas Eve to 16 friends and family.  They all raved over it.  It is my favorite Chili recipe.  The only change that I make to this is I use all pinto beans!

Cook's comments: This makes a ton of chili, but it freezes very well. I usually put 6 cups in a gallon bag to freeze. Gail added a can of corn to this for color. You can use any combination of beans that you like. You can also cut the recipe if you prefer; however, as stated, this seems to be the right proportion of ingredients. I serve this with shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos on the side. That is not figured in the HU count.

Ingredients:

2 lbs 96% lean ground beef
1 lb ground turkey breast
2 1/2 c chopped green pepper
10 cloves minced garlic
5 med onions, chopped
5 28-oz cans tomatoes, un-drained (I use 3 crushed and 2 pureed, but you can use whatever you prefer)
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
10 Tbsp chili powder -- or to taste
2 Tablespoons Tabasco sauce
3 cans red kidney beans, drained
2 cans black beans, drained
salt to taste

Saute ground beef, turkey, green pepper, garlic and onion together until beef and turkey are cooked.  Place, along with all ingredients except beans, in stockpot, cover and simmer at least 4 hours over low heat. Add beans and heat until ready.
