There was a full pint of beans left over from the Navajo tacos we had a couple of weeks ago. I had tossed them in the freezer for some future meal, not really sure how they would taste after being frozen. Two nights ago I had browned 2 pounds of ground turkey and only used half of that in a Sheperd's Pie. So, at 3:00 this afternoon I dumped the frozen beans, left over ground turkey, a can of diced tomatoes, chilli powder and a few dashes of red pepper into the crockpot and turned it on the high setting.
When I got back from running kids to and from their after-school activities the chilli was done. Everyone enjoyed a heaping bowlful and a slice of homemade bread. The beans, which I thought would be a little mushy, were actually very good. It was a perfectly easy and yummy meal on a very cold winter's night.
