Chili

The weather has gotten a bit colder around these parts so I'm using my baby crock for "warming the inside" meals.  I have so tell you, I adore the baby crock!  Perfect for cooking meals for one or two.

This recipe is for the chili I made the other night.  It turned out perfectly for me!  I had to pat myself on the back after I ate it from pride!  I'm sure you'll be just as pleased.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp pinto beans
1/4 cup spiced Seitan
1 cup tomato sauce with diced tomatoes
1tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
Cayenne to taste
Salt to taste

Avocado
Cheese or choice

Directions: 
Add all ingredients except cheese and avocado to the crock pot.  If you would like this to be more soup-like, add 1/4 - 1/2 cup water.  I like mine nice and thick, so I let my beans soak up the juice from the tomato sauce.  This took only 5 hours to be ready!

Pour into a bowl and garnish with avocado and your cheese of choice.  I used mozzarella!

I served this with homemade baked tortilla chips and a small mixed salad.
