Does a chilly day mean Chili? Or does it mean Chilly Day Chili?

When we get a fall day that has a chill in the air, I begin to think of making chili for dinner!
This is a chili that is very easy to make.

Chili made my way – my recipe. Serves 8-10
Easy Chilly Day Chili:
Saute ½ chopped onion in 1T of olive oil
ADD and Brown 1 and ½ lbs. of lean ground beef or ground turkey.
Sprinkle garlic pepper liberally over meat along with *2 t chili powder.
*(or to your taste)

Put in slow cooker (crock pot) and add the following:

(3) 25 oz. cans of organic kidney beans
(drain liquid from 1 can)
(1) 14.7 can if medium organic chili
(1) 16 oz. jar of mild salsa
(1) 14.5 can of green beans
(Sometimes I add 1 small package of frozen corn.)
Cook on Low for 5 hrs.

• If you want to serve it quicker, you may prepare this in a large skillet: After you have browned the meat, ADD the rest of the ingredients, stir to mix and heat on medium until heated through..

4 servings
• To make fewer servings, sauté 1/2 onion in 1T olive oil, ADD and brown ¾ lb. of meat, sprinkle with garlic pepper and *1 t chili powder, 3 small cans of beans (drain liquid from 1 can), 1 can of medium chili, ¾ jar of salsa and possibly leave out the green beans. No matter how I make it – it always tastes good!

Mr. C eats his chili with the juice, but I like to take it out of the crock pot/skillet with a slotted spoon and eat it without the juice. And I always have cottage cheese with it, and of course a green salad.
