CHILI GROUND BEEF

I browned about three pounds of beef with turmeric and black pepper
I chopped onions and green peppers
I added this to the slow cooker with chopped green pepper and three chopped peppercini and a few cloves of fresh garlic sliced.
About two thirds of a large 28oz can of diced tomatoes

NO BEANS.  THESE ARE MADE SEPARATELY FOR ADD ON.

Spices were small hand measures (less that tablespoon)
chili power
cumin powder
coriander


These spices were more liberal
paprika
a few bay leaves
turmeric again
celery seed
tarragon
coriander

All done in the slow cooker.

Beans are also designed to be more spicy as Elizabeth won't eat them, but I will.

Tried beans and hamburger to make a chili that is bland for Elizabeth.
Put beans and hamburger, garlic and black pepper, chopped onion and red peppers, some homemade tomato sauce.
Cooked in slow cooker for three hours as called for in one recipe.  On slow.  Nothing cooked.  Turned it up to high for two hours and the did it, but the concoction gave me terrible gas.
Elizabeth ate it for three days.
I froze the rest.
To my own portion I had added corriander, cayenne pepper, red pepper and Benson's salt.  Tasted good.
Letting it sit in the refrigerator a couple days seem to further soften the beans.  I used a small red bean and it seemed to stay hard longer.
I froze a few jars.  I'll use it to start a more hamburger dominated chili with my spices sometime when gas will not be a social issue.
