First recipe: mama's beer chili

p. 65 in "slow cooker bible"

8 am: This morning was pretty hilarious; my husband and I woke up early and prepped for this chili. the only problem with waking early is that our 6 month old son was up early too, and my husband only had 30 minutes before having to go off to work. so we kept bebe distracted while prepping the ingredients and lightly cooking the turkey for this chili. otherwise, super easy recipe to follow, everything gets dumped into the crock pot to mingle and the enticing aroma of all the seasoning already has our mouths watering. (note: recipe calls for ground turkey and I just diced mine).

1 pm: It has been cooking now for 5 hours and smells DELICIOUS!! the entire condo smells of chili. my excitement is starting to get out of control, I cannot wait to eat a beautiful bowl of chili with a couple slices of cornbread. I plan to take a photo to prove how yummy this chili looks.


8 pm: we ate the chili! my husband and I rate this at 4 out of 5 stars. it is yummy, but not my fave chili. also the recipe says it can make 4-6 servings but I can make 8 servings that fill you up.
