Hi! I know that it has been forever and ever since I have posted. I have still been in the kitchen but in effort to spend more time with my kids (it's a little harder now that I have to spread my time among 3) I have significantly decreased my computer time and thus my blog time. I miss sharing my recipes with you guys! This chili was just too easy and too good for me to not share. I will warn you, it IS spicy! The original recipe called for 1 Tbsp of chili powder and I knocked it down to 1/2 Tbsp for the kids and it was still spicy. I absolutely loved it with 1/2 Tbsp but it was a bit too much for the kids. I haven't decided how I will make it next time- the same because I loved it or with even less chili powder and possibly less cumin.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! Glad to hear you're still doing well...and I totally identify with the time constraints!
ReplyDeleteYum. That sounds delicious and perfect for a cold day like today! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteyay! We love Abby meals!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo!! I have all these ingredients. I'm trying it tonight. Guess I better get it in the crock pot NOW! It looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh BTW, I think alot of the heat you had from this meal, might have come from the ROTEL tomatoes too. I find that even the mild can of the Rotel is still even more hot than the Hunts or other brands. Try a different brand Diced tomato with green chiles and see if you like it better. :)
