Cynthia Janine Favorite Family Chili

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package chili seasoning I use the mild version
  • 1 28 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 4 15 ounce can Bushs Chili Beans in sauce pick whatever spicy suits you
  • 2 15 ounce can red kidney beans
  • 2 15 ounce can great northern beans
  • 2 15 ounce can black beans
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 pound ground hamburger or turkey I usually use ground turkey
  • 1 pound sausage I use Jimmy Dean mild
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne powder

Instructions
 

  • Cook your turkey [or hamburger] meat and sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large crockpot [you can also cook this in a large pot/dutch oven on the stove] add tomato sauce, spice packet, chili powder & cayenne. Stir to combine.
  • Add the 4 cans of Bushs Chili Beans with ALL the liquid.
  • Rinse the northern, kidney and black beans in a colander under water until the water runs clear then add to the crockpot. Give it a good stir.
  • Add the almonds and water. Stir again.
  • Cook on high for a few hours until nice and hot stirring every hour or so. Once hot throughout, turn down the heat to low for serving. The longer it cooks the more the flavors have a change to meld together.
  • Serve with cheese and sour cream [optional] At this point add whatever your favorite chili toppings are.
  • Enjoy!!!
