Three Meat Chili

I do not like Chili, but my husband has been requesting that I try to find a good chili recipe. I came across this one in my Halloween Taste of Home magazine and decided to try it. Wow, it was delicious! I ate two bowls. It had a really nice flavor with a touch of sweetness from the baked beans. This is a definite keeper!

Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin, cubed (I used 1 lb. ground pork instead)
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 pound ground beef (ground pork)
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (28 ounces) baked beans
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cumin (I only used 1 1/2 tsp)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook the pork, onion and green pepper in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook turkey and beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Drain pork mixture; add turkey and beef.

Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until flavors are blended.

I decided to use my crockpot, so I mixed all the ingredients in it and cooked them for 4 hours.

Yield: 12 servings (3 quarts).
