Chili in the crockpot

It’s finally Fall. Time to break out the crockpot.

Yummy food. No work. Lots of leftovers. What’s not to love?

 

Chili

• 1 chopped onion
• 1 cooked chicken breast (optional)
• 1 can crushed tomatoes
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 can garbanzo beans (pureed- they will never know it’s even in there)
• 2 C cooked lentils
• 1 large can pinto beans
• 1 large can dark red kidney beans
• Add chicken broth as needed.
• Add chili seasoning to taste. (depends on what brand you buy)
• 2 tsp cumin
• salt and pepper to taste

 

Dump it all in the crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until the onions are done.

Eat.

Freeze the leftovers for quick dinners later.
