Turkey and Black Bean Chili
2 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped(I used yellow)
4 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 pound ground turkey
1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 T. chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp, salt
Heat oil in frypan and add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until no longer pink. Stir in beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the vegies are very tender, about 30 minutes. Serve with shredded cheddar, sour cream and chopped green onions.
Mini Meatloaves
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
(or grey poupon is a delicious choice)
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp. cornmeal
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Spray a medium baking sheet with Pam. I line a baking sheet with tine foil and then spray it with Pam for easier clean-up.
Combine beef, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, mustard, egg,cornmeal, garlic, and spices. I put it all in a Ziploc bag and seal it with no air, then squeeze it until it is all mixed....works great.
Form six small oval loaves and place on baking sheet. Spread each with 1 tbsp. of ketchup each. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving.
YUM! YUM! YUM!
