My family is in love with this chili recipe.  It is from a very good cook who has been a part of the Matt and Shari family for a very long time.  She was part of our previous message board and donated many recipes to a small recipe book that was created by the gals on “the board”.  This one is definitely a keeper!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef chuck
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 1- 29 ounce can tomato puree
• 1 can (about 15 oz.) of each black  beans, Chickpeas, and red  kidney beans, rinsed
• 1 – 14 ½ ounce can zesty diced  tomatoes with mild green  chilies
• 3 tbsp. chili powder
• 1 tbsp. ground cumin
• 1 tbsp. salt

Instructions:

1) Cook the beef and onions in a large non-stick skillet until meat is browned and onions are translucent.

2) Transfer beef and onions to a 3 ½ quart or larger slow cooker and stir in the remaining ingredients.  (This can be done the night before.) 

3) Cover and cook on high 3 to 4 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours. 

4) Serve with all of your favorite toppings.  We tried oyster crackers, lettuce, scallions, sour cream, and shredded cheese.  YUM!
