Tomato free Chili

I had practically written off making anything like chili once I had to get rid of tomatoes. Until I read some blogs and a suggestion was made. Then I decided to give it a try. Here is the recipe that I used as my starting point. And this is what I came up with:

Gluten free Dairy Free Tomato free Chili

2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey
2 cans red kidney beans drained and rinsed or mild chili beans
2 cans great northern beans or white kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 15 oz can carrots
1 15 oz can beets
40-48 oz chicken broth
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder or use fresh cloves
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika

Put carrots, beets and pumpkin into blender and purée. Add a little chicken broth to make it easier. Set aside. In large pot brown meat. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn onto low. Cover. Simmer.  Enjoy with corn chips or corn bread!








Now go enjoy your delicious bowl of awesomeness!!
