IMG_0008I love simple and easy recipes at my house.  I don’t think anyone will ever accuse me of wanting or needing to spend hours perfecting a recipe.  But I do want the food that I spend that time preparing to taste great.  This is one of those recipes!

  • 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef, chicken, pork or turkey – your choice or mix and match! (I usually go with less meat!)
  • 28 ounce can of whole or crushed tomatoes ( I like to use whole and jujsh them with my hand blender)
  • 15 ounce can of dark red kidney beans
  • 15 ounce can of great northern beans
  • 1 large green pepper, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 TBSP salt
  • 1 heaping TBSP chili powder
  • 1 heaping TBSP garlic powder
  • 2 TBSP Molasses
  • 1 can of water (from the tomatoes can)

IMG_9994I keep browned ground beef and pork in my freezer for days when I am in a hurry, which is most days.

IMG_0003You can soak dried beans overnight (3/4 cup of dried for 1 can) and use them instead of canned!

IMG_0008Brown your meat of choice and drain.

Now, here you have a choice.  You can add the rest of the ingredients (except the molasses) to whatever pot you browned your meat in and continue on the stove top for a few hours which is wonderful.  Or you can add the rest of the ingredients (except the molasses) to a slow cooker and set it to high for 4 hours / low for 8 hours and walk away.  Also wonderful!  Today is a slow cooker day at my house.

After everything has cooked for a few hours or 8, add the molasses and stir, and dig in.

Either way, its delicious.  YUM!

    1. This is amazing, but the picture doesn’t show the finished product. I just didn’t want people to think it has raw onions and peppers in it when it’s done.
