I dreamed up this hearty chili with a Tex-Mex twist 25 years ago. It’s still everyone’s favorite and the go-to recipe in our family cookbook.—Martha B. Hook, Dallas, Texas
Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground turkey or beef
1 medium onion, chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup water
1 cup v8 juice
1/4 cup brewed coffee
2 envelopes chili seasoning
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1 can (15 ounces) ranch style beans (pinto beans in seasoned tomato sauce)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the tomatoes, water, juice, coffee and chili seasoning.
2. Transfer to a 4-qt. slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours to allow flavors to blend. Yield: 9 servings.
