Slow Cooked Chili

[CHIQUITITA]

I made this today with a few modifications (marked in red)..... it was easy, quick and delicious!

1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef (lean ground turkey)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup dry wine
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar (splenda)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (14-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeno peppers and spices, undrained

To make the chili:*
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook 5 minutes, until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer 45 minutes on low heat.

I know chili gives alot of people Heartburn.....
This recipe you posted is great. VERY similar to mine, but try adding about 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. It helps the flavor, and I have not had heartburn once since I started using ginger.

I like the ginger idea!!!

Actually, when I ate a bowl earlier the chili was quite sweet for my taste (I'm just blown away how the cinnamen adds a nice flair to this dish). I would definately say that this dish is "heartburn" safe, it was a little mild in terms of "spiceyness". However, I know not alot of people like or can even tolerate it hot but I even added some diced jalapenos to my bowl....for a little added "pica"!
