SLOW COOKER CHILI CON CARNE (KID-FRIENDLY)
This is my favourite version of chili, that I make often. It freezes wonderfully for a great make-ahead meal or freeze the leftovers for lunches or a quick dinner. It is not overly spicy so my daughter will eat it! If you like things spicy, increase the chili powder and cumin. One tip if your child still finds it too spicy, is to add additional canned beans in tomato sauce to their portion. It works! :) This is great with corn bread on the side. NOTE: You can substitute part of the ground beef with TVP (textured vegetable protein, SOY) without reconstituting first. I substitute 1/4 - 1/2 lb of the ground beef with 1/4 - 1/2 cup TVP bits. Add this into the pot with the other ingredients, do not saute with the ground beef.

Steps:
- In frying pan, saute ground beef, onions and garlic until beef is browned and onions are translucent. Transfer to slow cooker.
- Add all other ingredients to pot and mix well.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- To FREEZE: Cool completely, freeze in desired portions in freezer bags or containers.
- To REHEAT: Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat in saucepan until heated through, OR reheat it in the microwave after it's defrosted, and if it's not fully defrosted I use the microwave defrost first, then reheat on high until hot, really quick. :).

MOM'S CHILE CON CARNE (KID FRIENDLY)
I've since learned this is not a true Chile con Carne, but that's what my mom always called it. She made this recipe while I was growing up, and I still make it today for my hubby or family. The heat in this can be adjusted by using more or less Chile powder or adding some cayenne pepper for bigger kids with spicier taste buds.

Steps:
- Cook ground beef and onions over medium heat in a large sauce pan or dutch oven until beef is browned and onions are tender. Drain and return to pan.
- Add tomatoes and kidney beans (do not drain off juce).
- Add spices and stir until blended.
- Bring to boil, then reduce to low heat, cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
- You can taste and adjust spices after 20-30 minutes - add more chile powder or a bit of cayenne pepper if you like it spicier - let it simmer another 20 minutes to blend flavors.
- Serve in bowls with shredded cheese, onions, sour cream or crackers if desired. I like it with saltines broken into the chile with a little cheese on it.
