Since it's cold now where I am in Wisconsin, thought it would be fun for everyone to share their favorite chili recipes!

I didn't think to look under soups! I was totally confused as to where all the chili recipes were when I looked for them under main dishes - haha. I'm such an airhead!
Thanks Melissa!

My Chili
Serves 4-6
Originally from a cookbook that came with my aunt's crockpot, but it's been modified extensively since then.
Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon olive oil (or use cooking spray) 1/2 to 1 pound ground turkey 1 large onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 14-1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes 2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce 1 6-ounce can tomato paste 1 4-ounce can mushrooms, drained 2 16-ounce cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2-1/2 heaping teaspoons chili powder 1-1/2 teaspoons cumin 1 heaping teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon coriander 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 bay leaves
Directions:
Brown meat in a non-stick skillet with oil or cooking spray, being sure to break it up into small chunks. Transfer meat to a stockpot (or any large pot.
Saute onion and garlic in same non-stick skillet. Transfer to the stockpot.
Add all the other ingredients to the stockpot and stir well. Bring to a gentle simmer and simmer for at least 1/2 hour.
Notes:
This makes a fairly spicy chili. If you prefer it milder, try cutting the spice amounts in half.
I've also made this with just 1 can of kidney beans and lots (at least 1 cup) of fresh chopped mushrooms.

My Chili
2# ground turkey breast 2 large onions, chopped 3T. minced garlic 1/2t. each salt and pepper (or to taste) 3T. tequila 1 can whole tomatoes (chopped in can a little) or diced 1 1/2 cans tomato sauce (can add last bit if needed) 1 can tomato paste 1T. paprika 1T. oregano 1t. chili powder 4 small red chilies, chopped, preferably serrano 2 cans drained dark red kidney beans Brown meat with onions and garlic. Add remaining ingredients in a crock-pot or dutch oven and heat gently as long as desired. Add beans later if desired so they don't get mushy.
Dh still raves about this. I make Heather's simple sweet cornbread in a cast iron pan with it. I threw that meal together on Thursday in about 45 min!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

It doesn't make sense to me why it's always classified as a soup either! I just put it there, because that's how most cookbooks list chili - under soups.

Thanks to Kate's mock-tomato sauce , which I covet, since I can't handle tomatoes at all. I can't find the link with your recipe Kate, but this is pretty close, or what I did at least! Also I apologize for the lack of exact measurements... that's the way I do everything
Anyway, it turned out really, really well - I was kind of shocked actually how much it really did taste like a tomato based chili!
Tomato-Free Vegetarian Chili
To make the "mock tomato sauce," put all the following ingredients into a blender or food processer and blend until sauce-consistency:
- a can of beets (drained)
- a can of carrots (drained)
- fresh herbs (I used basil and parsley)
- a few fresh chili peppers (depending on how hot you want it!)
- enough lemon juice or vinegar to make it "acidy" like tomatoes (I used both, lemon juice and RED WINE vinegar, which was a great choice). This is to taste, and depending on your tolerance to acidity of course, but I think I probably used total 1/4 cup lemon juice + vinegar
- enough vegetable broth to get the right consistency, if needed
Mix the sauce with a can of mixed beans (kidney, white, chick peas etc. - or whatever kind of beans you like) and a can of mushrooms. (If you were to use fresh mushrooms, obviously you'd cook them first. And I sauteed my mushrooms before using them too because even though they're cooked, I find canned mushroom so ugh, soggy, lol)
Add to the chili, to taste (I was fairly liberal with all these):
- garlic salt
- onion powder
- cumin (lots and lots)
- cayenne pepper (if you want more heat, which I did)
- and a bit of honey (about 2-3 tsps I'd say)
Heat in a saucepan or in the microwave and serve over rice or a baked potato, or with bread for dipping.
Notes: If you heat this in a saucepan instead of the microwave and let it simmer for a while, the flavours will be blended much better.
And obviously, it would be much better with FRESH ingredients rather than canned... but it was still good with canned too and soooo ridiculously quick easy to throw together.
The mushrooms add a nice "meatiness" even though it's totally vegetarian. However, you could quite easily add some ground turkey if you wanted to too!
You could also add cooked vegetables like onions, celery and green peppers, typically found in chili. That would have taken longer though lol and it was good without them too.

I've gotta try this one!!! What kind of beans do you recommend?
ROTL! It's really starting to get cold in Ontario and well...chili sounds like it will keep my buns warm! I think I'm almost at the point where I have the guts to try it. Hey, with all that sf in the sauce, some Beano/enzymes, and maybe a potatoe on the side, not to mention a HUGE POT OF HOT TEA...
At worst, a laughing-gas attack and they pass rather quickly!
Cheers right back at you, Kate, IBS-D.

Hi Kate!! Yeah all this "chilly" weather (sorry couldn't help myself! ) really triggered my chili craving. Hit the spot, too. I *really* couldn't believe how much like "normal" (tomato-y) chili it tasted!
I looove beans and I can never decide what kind I want to buy so I always buy those big cans of no-name (Smart Choice I think?) mixed beans you see in the grocery store - it has kidney beans, navy beans, chick peas and a bunch of others. That's what I used here and it was great If you were only going to go with one kind though I'd say kidney, they're kind of like the "chili bean."
Let me know if you venture out to try it! I had it spread over a nice big baked potato, and then again for lunch the next day (and the next day!) with toast. You could also do white rice if you were feeling like a grains kick.
Keep warm

Thanks! It would be great with some baked potato/skinny safe fries...extra mushrooms, maybe, in the sauce...some grilled zucchini...
Now, I just need the guts--got the Beano, though, lol! (and everything else, methinks.)
This is just too fast and easy.
Kate, IBS-D.

I added soy crumbles - i can kidney beans & 1 can black beans... plus 2 cans mushrooms.
I used 2 cans carrots to 1 can beets....(more sauce) and I paired the whole thing with Heather's cornbread. Yummmmmmy!
Thanks so much for sharing this idea! I loved it! It's such a hearty yummy fall/winter meal. My husband was out of town -- but I bet this one would even win him over.

I bet it would be amazing with Heather's cornbread, too. It's been a looong time since I've made that!

Often, I will just want a bowl of the sauce! It's great on spaghetti squash, too!
