it's been quiet around here, i know. halloween and life got the better of me. ha! we had a wonderful halloween with my brother and his family. i hope you all did, too. for those of you on the east coast, i hope life gets back to normal sooner than later. xo!
in the meantime, here's a recipe from the top ten slow cooker recipes that i have "vegged out" for those of you that were wanting less meat-focused slow cooker meals. also, here's the list of my favorite slow cooker vegetarian meals. mike, my husband, is a big meat eater and our son is not...so it can make slow cooker cooking interesting. sometimes if i am making meat stuffed peppers or cabbage rolls, i just stuff one or two with a grain, bean, and veg mixture for the kid & me. things like chili can be a little tougher, though. so if i am sure hendrix is not going to just eat the beans or i feel like we have been lacking on the veg consumption then i just add some veggies and cut the meat. mike usually doesn't notice.
.....
mike's favorite chili - vegged out
1/2-3/4 lb of ground meat, browned
1 onion, chopped
1 T. minced garlic
2 cans of kidney beans, rinsed
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato soup + 1 can of water (if too dry looking)
1/4 c. of chili powder
2 T. cumin
1 handful of shredded carrots or zucchini
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 small bunch of kale or spinach, chopped very fine
combine everything but the greens in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. before serving, turn crock pot to high and add greens. cook until wilted. serve with your favorite chili toppings.
