Much like the Brother Green Eats (I finally subscribed to a new youtube channel) I whole heartedly prefer starting with dry beans vs canned. Sure canned beans are more convenient, but, they have all that slimly stuff on them you have to rinse off and you get so much more bang for your buck with dry beans and the texture of beans you cook yourself is just straight up better.
So anyways, this is the first time I just didn't use a recipe at all to make chili and it came out pretty damn good. I started with two cups of dry beans into the slow cooker. Now I used six cups of water, which in theory is the correct ratio of water to dry beans, but I ended up having to cook off a fair amount of liquid at the end, so next time I'll only use five to five and a half cups.
Then I put the seasonings in. I started with one table spoon cumin, two of chili powder and one of salt, and then seasoned it a little more to taste after it had cooked.
A can of tomatoes, a little can of green chilis. A bag of frozen peppers, an onion (chopped), and two cloves of garlic (crushed).
A package of ground meat, I used turkey. Side note, raw it totally looks a bit like brains:
I set the slow cooker to low and let it cook allllllll day.
At the end I added half a bar of baking chocolate and a bag of frozen corn. I topped each portion with some shredded Mexican Cheese and Sarah and I had chili every day for lunch last week. While it may look gross (like seriously) it was tasty. See you next Tuesday!
