Chili and Cheese Chips

The great thing about chili is that you can do anything you want with it!  Make it spicy or mild...Stuff it full of things or keep it simple.  The possibilities are endless.  Here is our family's rendition of this classic dish.  Depending on where you are at digestively, feel free to make it less spicy or add more things such as black beans or shredded carrots. 

Chili

1 lb. lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 -28oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 green pepper finely chopped
1 yellow pepper finely chopped
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp coriander
fresh cilantro for topping

Heat oil on medium in the bottom of a pan.  Cook beef, peppers, and onions until veggies are soft.  Add all remaining ingredients.  Simmer for 20 minutes or let cook all day in a crock pot.  Serve topped with fresh cilantro and cheese chips.

Cheese Chips

Line a glass plate with parchment paper.  Sprinkle a light layer of your favorite cheese (we often use cheddar or 2% cheddar for lower fat chips).  Cook in the microwave for 3 minutes or until cheese is very bubble and hard.  Let cool and cut with a pizza cutter.  Enjoy!
