Chili - Wheat and Corn Free (Kristi Original)

The thing I love about Chili is that you don't really need a recipe. You just dump a bunch of food in a pot, add chili seasoning, and poof it's chili. Here's the chili I put together for a friend that is vegan and has a wheat allergy. For those of us that wanted meat, we added our meat to our individual bowls. I found out by reading labels that chili beans have wheat in them! I was really surprised.

Put all of the ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the vegetables are done (15-20 minutes).

2 Cans of Low Sodium Dark Red Kidney Beans
2 Cans of Low Sodium Light Kidney Beans
1 Can of Low Sodium Pinto Beans
2 Cans of Black Beans
3/4 of a Medium Sized Onion Chopped
5 Diced Mini Snacking Peppers (1 Red, Yellow or Orange Pepper Chopped would be similar)
4 Chopped Baby Carrots
1 Small Can of Mild Chopped Green Chilies
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
1 Can of Tomato Sauce
3/4 of a 24 oz Jar of Medium Pace Picante Salsa
10 Chocolate Chips
2 Squirts of Worshester Shire Sauce (Estimate is 2 Tbsp)

Seasonings: A dump of this and that...
Sea Salt
Pepper
Chili Powder (Target Brand) - A Lot
Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple (Fresh Garlic would work too)
Fiesta Party Mix from Tastefully Simple

Adding Meat
1 Lb of Ground Beef
1/4 of a Large Onion Chopped
3 Hot Dogs Cut Up
Seasoning from the Chili

Cook the beef, Onion and Seasoning until the beef is cooked. Drain the meat. Add the hotdogs and cook until the hotdogs are warm. Add them to the main pot of chili or each individual person can add it to their own bowls.
