Jalepeno EVOO chili

This "knock your socks off" chili is definitely something you do not want to miss out on! The Jalapeno EVOO was so much fun to use, and if you would like it spicier by all means add some fresh jalapenos to your chili!


Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1 shallot, chopped
3 tablespoon Jalapeno EVOO plus more to pour over chili
1 1/2 cups assorted beans ( whatever beans you like in your chili, we had lots of dried beans we needed to use. Our beans consisted of black beans, black eye peas, corn, kidney beans and navy beans. If using canned beans make sure you have about two cans)
2 carrots, peeped and chopped
1 can petite diced tomatoes with garlic
6 cups water
2 tablespoons chili powder, more or less depending on your taste
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon Cajun seasonings
Juice from one lime
salt and pepper to taste

In medium saucepan, add Jalapeno EVOO and let heat up. Add meat and shallot. Cook until meat is cooked through. Add meat to crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours. Serve with fresh cilantro on top with a squeeze of lime.  Enjoy!
