CHILI CON CARNE

DELICIOUS NUTRITIOUS CHILI CON CARNE

This recipe is made completely from scratch. I am trying to use all garden vegetables and dried beans. Our 2 guests on Saturday loved it as much as we did so I figured it was worth passing the recipe on.

Notice, I use onion, garlic, salt, pepper in beans as well as in the chili for nutrition as well as flavor.

The day before I made the Baked Beans to use in this Chili recipe. The recipe made extra so freeze them for another time, or add them all to the chili. 

BAKED BEANS

I followed the recipe on page 94 in my SOY SATISFIED cookbook. Even though that recipe calls for soybeans, you can use any dried beans instead. I am using navy beans this time.

The following recipe yielded 3 (750ml) containers.

6 cups soaked dried navy beans (soak overnight & drain off & throw out the liquid)

3 cups canned tomato juice

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon prepared mustard

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons black strap molasses

1/4 cup coconut palm sugar

1 cup water

2 teaspoons salt

Combine all the above except the salt in a crock pot. Cook 8 – 10 hours or until the beans are done.

Add & stir in the salt.

Divide into containers to use in the chili or freeze some for another time.
