This was tonight's dinner - Chili Con Carne. I adapted
this from Jamie Oliver. He used chuck steak which I
did not have any of, I used ground turkey. I also used
black beans as I didn't have kidney beans. I prefer
the black ones anyway.
It came out delicious. Of course, I would have
preferred that it had more chile in it but I was
cooking for Steve too. I lessened the amount. Also,
Jamie used fresh red chile and plain chili powder and
I used green serranos and chipotle powder.
This was great.

1/2 tsp ground cumin

Place sun-dried tomatoes in food processor. Puree (if
it came in oil). If it did not come in oil and you
hydrated them by soaking in boiling water, than drain
well, add to processor, and drizzle in oil until the
tomatoes are a paste.
Put the meat mixture into the crockpot. Add the
sun-dried tomato paste, canned tomatoes, cinnamon
stick and 1/4 cup of water. Season more if necessary.
Put crockpot on HIGH. Cover. Cook for 1-1/2 hours.

or cilantro, or all.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
Jamie Oliver did not cook this in a crockpot. He
cooked it on the stovetop until the meat mixture had
the tomatoes added. Then he brought it to a boil,
covered it with wax paper and a lid, and then put it
in the oven for 1-1/2 hours. He also added the beans
in the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
He suggests making this the day before you wish to eat
it so that the flavors meld. I made it earlier in the
day and let it sit until dinner time, re-heated it 1/2
hr before eating. This gave the flavors time to meld a
bit. He also suggests making lots and freezing it in
small containers for eating later.
Original recipe called for kidney beans and chuck
steak that you grind yourself. He also doubled the
amounts.
