Mexican Chili

I made this chili last night for a baby shower and it was a hit. My kids especially loved it and are already asking me to make it again! We served it over baked potatoes with cheese and sour cream on the side for those lucky ducks that can indulge in all the dairy! 

I got this recipe from a friend as "Taco Soup". I modified it a bit to make it thicker and now it's "Mexican Chili"! Magic. 

It's another crock pot recipe, seems to be a theme of mine these days. 

*With all canned foods make sure to read the ingredients to make sure they are gluten free. I always buy the organic Fred Meyer brand. They are well priced and have very little ingredients. 

Ingredients: 

1 pound ground beef (could use ground turkey instead)

1/2 chopped onion

1-2 cloves garlic

1 package taco seasoning (Make sure it is Gluten Free. I use the big McCormick's container from Costco and just put in 3 tbsp)

1 can diced green chilies (I used Ortega)

1 can kidney beans (drained)

1 can pinto beans (drained)

1 can Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes

1 cup corn

1 14 oz can of tomato sauce

1. Brown the ground beef. Add the onions and garlic and saute with the meat until soft, about 5 minutes. 
2. Add the meat, onions, garlic and all other ingredients to the crock pot and let simmer for 6 hours on low. 
3. Serve alone, with chips, cheese, sour cream, or over a baked potato! 
4. Enjoy:)
