Kind of a short-cut chili. It uses premade frozen meatballs, but you can use your own homemade....it just won't be a squick and easy. ;) This can also be made in a crockpot on low for about 6 hours. Ingredients:
24 frozen cooked italian meatballs, partially thawed enough to cut through |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed |
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed |
1 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder |
1/4 cup chopped cilantro |
shredded cheddar cheese, to sprinkle for garnish |
Directions:
1. Cut the meatballs into quarters.
2. Place the cut meatballs in a large pot. Add all the rest of the ingredients (EXCEPT CHEESE). Stir well.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes.
5. For the Crockpot: Place the quartered meatballs in the crockpot along with everything else (EXCEPT CHEESE).
6. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or on high for about 4 hours. (All crockpots seem to cook a little faster or slower than others.).
7. Serve hot with some cheese on top, if desired.
