so as winter is approaching there is nothing better on a nice cold day other than hot cocoa is a nice bowl of chili. my husband despises onions and I'm having a really difficult time finding a good recipe for chili that doesn't have onions in it... and if all possible a slow cooker recipe would be fantastic but if you don't have one that is okay too... lol help me out ladies! ![]()
I brown 2 pounds of hamburger meat. drain the grease. Mix in 2 packets of chili powder I buy mild add some water to it. Then add a big can of diced tomatos and 2 cans of kidney beans I also buy a can of mushrooms and add then for a more juicer recipe you can also add tomato juice its real simple
Here is my quick chili.
1 can of tomato juice 46 oz, 2-3lbs hamburger browned, 2 pack Chili man seasoning, and 3 cans of chili man with or without beans. The longer it simmers the better it is so the slow cooker would be good if you have time to cook the burger and throw it in.
NOTE: I have 6 in my family and I like to make extra to freeze for later, and take to work for lunch.
the easiest and best recipe for chili is on the back of the Old El Paso chili seasoning mix:
1 lb hamburger
1 jar salsa
1 can pinto beans (you can uses kidney if you want)
water and seasoning
I put out all different toppings: chopped onions, sour cream, shredded cheese...and you can control the heat of it through the salsa. I use mild for me but bring the medium to parties. :)
Crockpot Cheesy White Cauliflower Chili
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 onions finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. cumin seeds
1 tbsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cracked black peppercorns
1 14 to 19 oz. can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed, or 1 C dried white kidney beans, cooked and drained
3 cups vegetable stock
3 cup cauliflower florets, cooked for 4 minutes in salted boiling water and drained
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 green bell pepper, minced
2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
4 ozs. cream cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes and softened
1 can chopped mild green chilies
finely chopped green onions, optional, for garnish
finely chopped cilantro, optional, for garnish
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, cumin seeds, oregano, chili powder, salt and peppercorns and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to slow cooker stoneware. Add beans and stock and stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until hot and bubbling.
Stir in cauliflower, jalapeno pepper, green pepper, Monterey jack cheese, and cream cheese and chilies, if using. Cover and cook on high for 25 to 30 minutes, until the green peppers are softened and cauliflower is heated through. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired with chopped green onions and cilantro.
If you prefer thicker chili, mash some or all of the beans or puree in a food processor before adding to the recipe.NOTE: if you don't have a slow cooker, you can certainly simmer this on the stove, stirring and adding liquid as needed.
Best Chili Ever

4 cups vegetable broth
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can white (cannellini) beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

If you don't have a slowcooker, this can simmer on the stove; stir and add liquid as needed. In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients but the masa, shredded cheese, cilantro and salt. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. Five to 10 minutes before serving (depending on temperature of slow cooker) add masa and water mixture, cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and other spices.
Just before serving, top each serving with shredded cheese and cilantro.

I too despise onions so the stuff i use comes in a little brown box that u get at the store, I forget the name of it though, just go to where they have the chili mixes and stuff, it is real easy to make, just cook ur meat & follow the directions. U can make it spicy or mild, thin or thick, everything is sepreated into packets so u can make it however u want, and it only takes like 15 min. But make sure u get tomato sauce cause i always forget!!! AND DONT FORGET THE CORNBREAD!!!
