I have recently discovered the joys of Crock pot cooking! What brought me around to it is the idea of "dump" or freezer cooking which is amazing if you haven't heard of it! Basically you take all your uncooked ingredients (except for ground turkey/beef) and dump it into gallon size freezer bags, then toss in the freezer. The night before you take the bag and move it into your fridge to thaw and then put it in the Crock pot in the morning. Come dinner time you have a tasty meal all ready for you. This is pure genius I tell you and perfect for the Lazy Cook Project, because I am LAZY duh... I am going to start posting a bunch of these type of lazy dump recipes shortly, so stay tuned! :) Enjoy this totally yummy and ridiculously simple chili!
* Recipe for Sweet "Corn dog" Cornbread mini loaves shown in picture.
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Ground Turkey, browned and drained
2 16-oz. cans Kidney beans, drained
2 16-oz. cans Northern beans, drained
1 16-oz. can Black beans, drained
4 14 ½ oz. cans Diced Tomatoes
2 medium Onions, chopped
1 c. chopped Green Peppers
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
3 Tbsp. Chili Powder
2 tsp. Cumin
2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Salt
* Feel free to switch up the beans, do more black beans, less kidney it doesn't really matter in my opinion. Just make sure to do 5 cans with some variety. You can also cook your own beans instead of using canned if you have the time. The original recipe called for ground beef, but I don't eat beef. It is excellent with ground turkey. I'm sure you could also use TVP or some other type of substitute as well.
Directions:
Combine all ingredients, and separate into 2 1-gallon freezer bags (or just put half of each item into each bag as you go and mix it up in the bag, that's what I do). Seal, making sure you push out as much air as possible and lay flat to freeze. When ready to serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Pour chili into crock pot, and cook on low 8-10 hours. Make sure to write the directions on the freezer bag.
