RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Fall is officially here - so dust off your slow cooker and make this
simple, one-dish meal that's sure to please a crowd.

Crock-Pot Chili

INGREDIENTS FOR 6 SERVINGS:
1 pound ground round
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup dry red wine or water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, undrained
1 (14.5-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeno
peppers and spices, undrained
6 tablespoons (1-1/2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat extra-sharp
cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook the ground round in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat until brown, stirring to crumble. Add chopped onion and the next
7 ingredients (onion through garlic), and cook for 7 minutes or until
onion is tender. Place meat mixture in an electric slow cooker, and
stir in beans and tomatoes. Cover with lid, and cook on low-heat
setting for 4 hours. Spoon into bowls; sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 6
servings (serving size: 1-1/4 cups chili and 1 tablespoon cheese).

Note: The chili can be made on the stovetop if you don't have a slow
cooker. After adding the beans and the tomatoes, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat; simmer, partially covered, 1-1/2 hours.

We love the Veggie Chili in the May 2000 issue (I hope that's right)...I think it's called Darcy's Veggie Chili or something similar. It was a reader recipe. Lots of chunky vegetables, and a bit of a kick! Even a fair-sized sprinkling of cheese on the top!
