Adapted slightly from A Year of Slowcooking
What’s this? A blog post? Oh my… it’s been so long! So much easier to blog when you work three 12-hour shifts a week instead of five 8-hour shifts….
Anyhow, enough with the excuses. The five 8-hour shifts are what helped me discover this recipe. I am not a fan of coming home from work every day and having to cook dinner. So I have been relying a lot on my slowcooker lately. I love coming home to a meal waiting for me.
This chili is hearty and satisfying, not to mention healthy (especially if you use ground turkey and turkey pepperoni as I did). The only change I made to this recipe was to add some chopped onion. I served this with some crusty garlic clove bread and my husband and I both really enjoyed this meal. If you wanted to add some heat to this chili, you can always add crushed red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef or turkey, browned and drained
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
1 (14-ounce) jar pizza sauce
1 (14.5-ounce) can Italian stewed tomatoes
1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
½ medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
25 pepperoni slices (regular or turkey)
1 cup water
Shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
Place the cooked meat into a 6-qt slowcooker and add the beans, pizza sauce, and tomatoes. Add diced bell pepper and onion. Stir in the Italian seasoning and pepperoni. Add the water and stir.
Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. Serve with cheese, if desired.
