- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced 1
- 1 green pepper, chopped (optional)
- 3 (14 1/2-ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
- 2 heaping tablespoons Rosie’s Kitchen Southwest BBQ Dry Rub
- 2 (16-ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Brown ground chuck or ground turkey, in batches, in a large skillet over medium-high heat about 5 minutes, stirring until meat crumbles and is no longer pink; drain off fat. Transfer into crock pot or dutch oven. Brown onions in same skillet.
Easy Crock Pot Option: Place meat in a 6-quart slow cooker; stir in the browned onions and garlic. Add all other ingredients. Cook, covered, at HIGH 4 hours or at LOW 6 hours. Stir every so often.
Or Stove Top Option: Place browned ground chuck, onions & garlic in dutch oven. Add all other ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover & simmer 4 hours. Stir often.
To freeze leftovers: Let chili stand 30 minutes. Evenly divide cooled chili mixture into quart sized zip-top plastic freezer bags; seal and lay each bag flat. Stack bags of chili in freezer. Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw frozen chili overnight in refrigerator or defrost in microwave. Pour thawed chili into a 9-inch square baking dish. Cover tightly with heavy-duty plastic wrap, and fold back a corner to allow steam to escape. Microwave at HIGH 6 to 7 minutes or until bubbly, stirring after 3 1/2 minutes.
Tastes great topped with shredded cheddar cheese & served with tortilla chips or bread or over cooked pasta.
