A great chili recipe from local news program. We love it. Being the carnivores that we are, I add about a pound of lean ground sirloin, browned in with the onions, seasonings and other veggies. Ingredients:
*i like to add lean ground sirloin |
2 large onions, diced |

3 small jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced |
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes |

6-12oz. tomato juice |
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese |
1 cup (4 oz.) reduced fat shredded monterey jack cheese |

Directions:
1. Sauté onions, carrots and celery in oil over medium high heat in large saucepan until translucent, about three minutes.
2. Add jalepeno, tomato paste, chili powder, cocoa powder, and cumin, and cook until mixture caramelizes to a dark brown, about ten minutes.
3. Add crushed tomatoes and beans.
4. Stir in tomato juice to your preferred consistency.
