4 Bean/4 Onion Chili...

Well...better late than never, right? :)  Even though it's almost WEDNESDAY (Thank God!), I'm finally catching you up on our dinner Sunday night.  And the reason I'm *extra* proud of this one was because it was a Scott original ;)  He mentioned the recipe Sunday morning...we just happened to have everything on hand....and so was made:
Scott's 4 Bean & 4 Onion Turkey Chili

First, the basics:
  • 1 28 oz. can crushed tomato
  • 1/2 can of water
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1 pound of turkey, browned & flavored with chili powder, chipotle chili & cumin
    • (the turkey is an easy deletion to create a vegetarian chili...but it was Scott's creation, so I let him have free reign...and he wanted turkey;)
And now the Good Stuff:
  • 1/2 large red onion
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 3 chopped scallions
  • 3 chopped leeks
  • 1 can red beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 can chickpeas, wild guess;)
  • 1 can white or large butter beans, rinse em either way;)

Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 5 hours.... 
Mmmmmmmmmmm....the slow cooking time let the onions break down and completely saturate this dish with delicious flavor!  Love, love, loved it!  If you love onions (and beans;), I highly suggest this recipe from my fella's noggin;) hahahahahahahahha....

And don't mess around...make sure to dress your chili in it's Sunday best aka-sour cream & a sprinkle of cheese:) 
The rest of Sunday was spent in the kitchen finishing up my Christmas cookies...and I honestly think I've been exhausted ever since;) hahahahahhahaha  I was FINE until around 9:30am on Monday morning, and after THAT, I was just ready for it to be Christmas Eve morning;)  Soooooooooooooooo looking forward to our break!  1 1/2 more working days left of 2010!  Hallelujah! :)

Have a great night everyone...and I promise an earlier post tomorrow! :)
