Chili & Homemade Chili Seasoning - GF


Chili is a staple in our house. I am a Queen of One-Pot Dinners. For 3 years, we didn't have a dishwasher, so my goal was to dirty as few pots & pans as possible while I was in Grad School & working full-time. Now, it's just habit to make my wonderful One-Pot Meals. As I started eating Gluten-Free we transitioned to this wonderful Chili Seasoning. I have played with this for a while; trying to perfect it. This chili is great for kids because it isn't too spicy, but I like to add some heat to my own bowl! It is smoky & has just enough spice to make it delicious. Give it a try & let me know what you think! By the way, there are no beans in my Chili due to the high carbohydrate content. If that bothers you, of course, just add the beans.

Approx. 2 1/2 pounds Ground Beef or Venison or a mixture of the two
1 can Tomato Sauce
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 can med or mild rotel
2 tsp. chipotle in adobo SAUCE - do not use the actual pepper unless you want more spice.
1/4 cup of chili seasoning - you may need to play a little with the amount depending on you and you families' taste buds.
3 garlic clove
1 onion

1. Brown the meat & add onion & garlic to soften.
2. Add the sauce, tomatoes, adobo sauce and seasonings.
3. Simmer for at least 30 minutes - the longer the better. You can also put this in the crockpot.

That's it.

1/2 cup chili powder
2 tbsp. Onion
