Barbecue Chili

this is the hubby's favorite

Barbecue Chili

2 cans kidney beans rinsed and drained
2 cans pinto beans rinsed and drained
1 large onion chopped
1 large green pepper chopped
3T chili powder
1 T ground cumin
1 Can diced tomatoes with jalapenos drained (optional)
1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 can corn
1 lb hamburger cooked
3/4 c barbecue sauce


put everything except bbq sauce in crockpot on low 6-8 hours

stir occasionally

add bbq sauce 1/2 hour before serving

serve with cornbread :)


@;-- I use bullion cubes instead of chicken broth. leave the liquid in the corn and add another can full of water for the liquid.

@;-- the original recipe has soy crumbles for the protein (1-12oz bag)

@;--you can use 4 cans of the same kind of bean if that's all you have

@;-- I like to sauté the onion and green pepper till they get just a little brown.

Easy pumpkin seeds!

I kid you not!  This is the easiest way to make pumpkin seeds :)
Separate from pumpkin
Brine (if desired)
Dry (over night)
Mix 1 TB oil and 1 tsp kosher salt  for every 2 cups of seeds
Put in dehydrator! (Why)  they are Impossible to burn
Dehydrate 12 to 24 hours.
