Pumpkin Chili

http://marriedinmn.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/the-almost-perfect-fall-chili/

It's excellent. Ground turkey, cubed sweet potato, red pepper, onion, garlic, nummy spices and yes - PUMPKIN. For real, it's my favorite. It's got a good spicy flavor with a hint of sweetness from the pumpkin and sweet potatoes.

ETA - this recipe lists vegetable oil, but I always sub it for olive oil instead. Much better for you.

This one is my new favorite. Love the variety of beans, but you could use one kind if you don't like them.

Skinny Taste has a great taco chili!

I do I do!

Here's the recipe and my modifications to it.

3 tablespoons organic extra-virgin olive oil (I've used just 2 tablespoons and I don't use organic.)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (I've done a batch with a yellow onion and one with white. Both turned out great.)
5 cloves garlic, chopped (I'm lazy so I use dried minced garlic.)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon sea salt (to taste) (I don't add this and I'll explain why)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 tsp dried cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon tomato paste (I've used 3 Tbs in the most recent batches I’ve made. To me, it makes for a richer tomato taste)
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup organic chicken broth (I don't use organic broth. In fact, I just melt 1 chicken bouillon cube in 1/2 cup of hot water, with an additional 2 tsp of tomato chicken bouillon powder which is the reason I don't add sea salt. Adding the bouillon increases the sodium but I’m a salt lover so that’s why I do it.)
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, with their juice (I used diced tomatoes and I also double this, using 2 cans because I loba me some tomatoes.)
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (I double this as well.)
Frozen organic sweet corn (optional) (I use 1 cup frozen corn)
3 diced organic carrots (optional)

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, salt, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1-2 minutes more. Add the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until the meat loses its raw color, about 3 minutes. Add the brother and simmer until reduced by about half, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes—crushing them through your fingers into the skillet (I don’t have to crush them because I use diced tomatoes) along with their juices and the beans and the corn; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 10 minutes.

Ladle the chili into bowls (over brown rice, if using) and serve with the garnishes of your choice.

Enjoy!

I make this weekly. My batches usually make 9 1 cup servings and I serve it over 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup brown rice with a couple tablespoons of sour cream. It freezes well so if you want to double it, you can freeze part of it for later.

I've also made this one and can vouch for it - tastes great!

I use garlic and jalepenos in mine, and add some black beans.

The recipe I used (and got from my mom) relies on Bush's beans. If you have them in your area, try this:

1-2# ground turkey or ground beef
1 packet chili seasoning (hot or mild, your choice - any brand)
2-3 cans Bush's chili beans - I usually go with 2 cans of the medium and 1 of the hot, but if you like a milder chili, use whatever combo sounds good.
1 can dark red kidney beans (any brand)
1 can chili-ready diced tomatoes (any brand)

Directions:
Brown the meat, drain.
Add everything else - don't drain the kidney beans; just open all of the cans and dump it all in.
Simmer for 30 minutes or longer.

You can double or triple this as needed...it's pretty much foolproof and gets rave reviews every time.

Best Veggie Chili ever, not your usually veggie chilli. I eat meat but prefer this, the wine and cocoa really replace the meaty goodness of meat chili.

MdmAcolyte

We make SIMPLE chili...

1 pound ground beef OR turkey
1 can pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 TBS chili powder

Brown the beef, drain the grease (if any), and add everything else. Stir. You're done. We like to add cheese or rice or fritos sometimes, but its really up to you, and really good, and you cannot beat it for 4 ingredients.

Hope you try it!!

I have this almost everyday for lunch....I actually use dry Great Northern Beans and boil them until soft. I freeze it in 1 cup servings and it is about 110 calories per cup.

Sweet potato enchilada chili - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/CHICKEN-ENCHILADA-CHILI-50119141

Add cut up sweet potato and peppers to taste. You can use ground turkey instead of the chicken. It's slightly spicy, not sweet at all, and I like to cut it with water or stock to make it more of a soup than a stew - kinda turns out like chicken tortilla soup.


YUMMY!

Since I just made a batch last weekend, I'll share my easy recipe:

1 can of tomato paste (large)
1 can of dark kidney beans
1 can of light kidney beans
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of Bush's Grillin' Beans - Black Bean Fiesta
4 boneless skinless chicken tenderloins

Add all the cans into a crockpot, then grill the chicken. I and add tons of garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Then I shred the chicken with two forks and add that to the crockpot. The whole mix ends up around 2,000 calories and makes around 12 portions. Super simple and tasty.

Meatsies

This is what I usually do:

1 lb of uber-lean ground chicken, cooked up in a huge pot with a diced onion, a few minced cloves of garlic, and a spray of Pam.
Then add a huge can of diced tomatoes, 3-4 cans of various beans (black, kidney, small white, etc.). \
A TON of chopped veggies...usually 3-5 zucchini/squash, a bunch of carrots, celery, peppers.
A small can of tomato paste. Maybe a small can of chicken broth, depending on what mood I'm in.
The seasonings are the best part, though: I use a lot of cumin, some coriander, red pepper flakes, about a tbsp of Truvia, and the muddled juice of a full lime. It comes out a bit different each time, since I don't have the actual recipe written down, but it's always delicious. Simmer it down for as long as you can be patient, then chow.
