Tonight I am sharing my AWARD WINNING (thank you 4th ward!) Hidden Veggie Chili. Simple, yummy and packed with healthy foods while not having any chunks for picky eaters to complain about. Enjoy!
Hidden Veggie Chili
* WARNING *
Measurements are not perfect, I am a by sight cook and am guessing. Go with your preferences.
2lbs Lean ground beef
2 cans chili beans
1 large can tomato paste
1 large bag of spinach
3 cups chopped sweet peppers
1 medium-large onion, chopped
1-2 cups carrot juice
2 cloves garlic
½ tablespoon Cayenne pepper
¼ tablespoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook ground beef on medium until well cooked, drain thoroughly
Mix spinach, peppers, onion, garlic and about 1 cup carrot juice in a blender until smooth (add more juice if necessary)
Mix blender mixture, meat, tomato paste and chili beans in a pot on medium-low heat (or a crock pot)
Let chili cook for 3-4 hours.
During the last 15-20 minutes do a taste test and see if more spice is needed, I like to see if it needs a little more sweetness and use carrot juice for that.
Serve in a bowl or over a backed potato and enjoy!
