Turkey (or beef) Chili


 * 1ish lbs ground turkey (or beef)
 * 1-2 onions
 * Several cloves of garlic (or equivalent power/granulated garlic/etc)
 * 1 can red beans (kidney or equivalent)
 * 1 can black beans (or made from dried, etc)
 * 1-2 bell peppers
 * 1 large (32 oz?) can crushed tomatoes or equivalent (I freeze other tomatoes that are getting soft/close to going bad and add them in)
 * Chili powder (to taste)
 * Other vegetables you might want to add (carrots, celery, sweet potato, shallots, etc.) and spices (salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, etc.) to taste

Saute the meat and some of the garlic and onion until browned (drain the beef if you're using beef, not really necessary with the lower fat turkey). Add to crock pot with drained beans, tomatoes, etc. Cook for as long as you have (at least 4 hours on high, 7-8 on low), stirring very occasionally.

Let the steam vent if you want it thicker, and make sure to taste and add additional spices as necessary near the end of cooking time.

Serve with grated sharp cheddar, or sour cream, or corn bread, or whatever you like with chili.
