How to Make Bachelors Chili
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off excess fat.
- Transfer browned beef to a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Add one (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes.
- Add one (15 ounce) can pinto beans, one (15 ounce) can corn, and one (4 ounce) can chopped green chilis. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until flavors meld.
- Throughout the week, add additional ingredients as desired. Suggestions include: 1 (15 ounce) can of peas (day 2), 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (day 3), 4 ounces cooked shrimp (day 4), 4 ounces diced chicken (day 5).
- Each time you add ingredients, stir well to combine.
- Continue cooking on low. The chili will thicken and develop richer flavors over time, evolving into a chili-gumbo hybrid by the end of the week.
- Serve warm. Enjoy as a hearty meal or a flavorful snack throughout the day.
