Taco Chili

Ok all of my previous posts were "old" recipes.  Most of you have been given those recipes in an email from me.  However, I decided that I needed a place to keep all of those recipes together.  Every time I plan my menus, I have to pull up Pinterest, Microsoft Word, printed recipes, Ziplist on my Kindle.  Blahblahblah. Takes me forever.  (However, I will admit that I LOVE planning menus and grocery shopping trips.  I know, I'm crazy.)  (Also, do you have a Ziplist account?  If not, get one!  When you see recipes on Pinterest that have a little blue button that says "Save Recipe," you click that button and the recipe is saved to your Zip list account.  And then you can get an app and see all of your saved recipes.)  Anyhow.  Moving on.

This recipe is a "new" one.  I haven't emailed it to you. AND I can give you the website it came from!  :)
We have been trying our best to eat clean for over a year now.  Obviously, we aren't perfect.  Obviously, the holidays so totally messed us up.  However, we are back to it.  I try very hard to buy organic.  And I don't use recipes with "Cream of" soups in them.  With that being said... here you go....


Ingredients:
1 lb. cooked ground beef (I buy hormone/antibiotic free from Greenland Farms at Lowe's Foods)
1 medium onion chopped
1 can corn drained
1 can black beans drained
1 can navy beans drained
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
2 14 oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 small can diced green chiles
1 package taco seasoning (I used the homemade recipe that's listed below)

Directions: Place all ingredients in freezer bag and freeze until ready. 

Write on bag: 1 can diced green onions, shredded cheese (I didn't add the green onions)
   1. Thaw slightly, place in crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours. 
   2. Serve with shredded cheese, chopped green onions and fritos. (I didn't add fritos, either.)
 

         ingredients:
2 T chili powder
1-1/2 T cumin
1-1/2 T paprika
1 T onion powder
1 T garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Just put everything in a container and shake to combine! To make taco meat, mix 3 T of the mixture with 1 lb of ground meat and salt to taste. Just brown the meat, add the seasonings and 1/4 cup of water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
