More than any other recipe, Chili, is the one I get asked to post most often--and not just from you Erica. I thought I would post it AGAIN. With a few changes.
This is quick, weeknight chili--not the stuff you cook for hours. It's also, what I call, "a pantry meal". The majority of the ingredients come from your pantry. Oh yeah, its low in fat and loaded with protein, iron and vitamin C.
I have tried to come up with my own spice concoction but its never as good as the "secret ingredient" passed down from generations...at least one generation, that is. The secret to our favorite chili is the "Carroll Shelby's Chili Kit". It comes with four individual packets: 1. the spices, 2. Salt, 3. Cayenne pepper, and 4. Masa Flour. I typically only use the main spice however, Dave likes more spice. I don't add enough liquid to use the masa flour.
So here it is....Chili
Approx 1 1/2 lbs of ground Turkey (or Beef)
1 Pkg of Carroll Shelby's Chili Spices
1 28 oz can petite diced tomatoes in their own juice
1 28 oz can tomato sauce
1 Cup Black Beans
1 Cup Cannellini Beans (white Kidney Beans)
1 Cup Red Kidney Beans
Brown turkey with a little olive oil in a large pot. Add rest of the ingredients and simmer on low for 15- 20 minutes. Garnish with grated cheddar. This recipe makes plenty of leftovers. Chili is one of those things that gets better with time. Looking forward to tomorrow's chili for lunch.
**NOTE: You can use beans of any variety. I like these beans because they add different colors which adds nutrients. If you don't have time to soak your beans, then 3 -14 oz cans will work as well. You can also add 1 small chopped onion and/or chilis in with the meat, brown together before adding other ingredients.

Where do you get Carol Shelby's chili spices? Sounds tasty, will have to try. BTW, made the enchiladas- it was a hit.
I can find it at Safeway or Bel Air.
so now I remember you posting this recipe. but thanks for posting again, I may try during my vacation time.
OK, so I made the chili today for lunch. I used ground beef, and also added a chopped green bell pepper and 2 TBSP of baking cocoa. I love the flavor of cocoa in chili (think mole - mmm, delicioso). This had very good flavor - but even for the Latina who doesn't eat spicy food, I think I am with Dave and would add a little of the cayenne to it. it needed a bit more kick - but i am definitely looking forward to devouring chili.
thanks
Erica
