Some of this....Some of that...Chili

Busy days are good days for crock pots! I knew that the day ahead of me was going to be full of driving around and running in and out of the house so Wednesday night I got busy preparing for some kind of meal that I could put in the crock pot on Thursday morning. I wasn't sure what I was going to make. Just looked in my refrigerator/freezer to see what was available!

I already had a lot of ground turkey meat left over from our taco meal we'd just had. So thought that Chili would work!

I chopped up a whole onion and put in container to keep in refrigerator.

Decided that some veggies included would be good so;

chopped up a whole green bell pepper in very small pieces

chopped up two carrots into very small pieces

chopped up the top leaves of three celery stalks into very small pieces

Then I put all the chopped up veggies into a container and stored overnight in the refrigerator.

Now most is prepared which will make the morning easier.

On Thursday morning I put into the crock pot -

the cooked ground turkey meat which was about one full package of the Jenny-O brand.

the one whole chopped up onion

the container of chopped up bell pepper, celery, and carrots

two crushed garlic cloves

two cans of rinsed & drained kidney beans

one can of rinsed and drained white beans

two cans of diced tomatoes

3 Tbls. of brown sugar

about 3/4 cup of apple juice

and then shook the container of Kirkland Organic Salt Free Mixed Seasoning into the crock pot until it looked like enough :)

gently stirred all the ingredients to mix them together and then turned the crock pot onto low for the day.

later that afternoon it was hot and bubbly and we were hungry! Sprinkled a little touch of cheese on top of each serving and ate....................YUMMY!!
