Southern Chilli…

Bourbon Barrel Smoke Flake…instead of your typical kosher salt.  That was my super secret ingredient.  This gem is made by Bulls Bay Saltworks out of McClellanville, South Carolina.  The salt is literally smoked using oak bourbon barrels and truly adds a unique smokey flavor where ever you use it.  (No, you won’t get drunk eating the salt!!)

Southern Chilli

1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 28 oz diced tomatoes
12 oz tomato paste
16 oz can of baked beans
1-2 table spoon oregano
1-2 table spoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 table spoon worstxhe sauce
1 sweet potato, diced into small cubes
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup water
Toppings – cilantro, hot sauce, cheese, sour cream, etc

Brown meat, add onions and cook a few minutes, add all the veggies and stir around. Add all the seasonings, then the “wet ingredients” (diced tomatoes, water, paste, Worcestershire sauce). Basically, everything should be in the crock pot!!!

High for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Serve with favorite toppings.

*my crock pot has a sauté function so I can do this all in one pot. They are relatively more expensive than your typical crock pot, but I HIGHLY recommend making the investment the next time your crock pot bites the dust 😉
