Slow Cooker Salsa Chili

This is SOUPER yummy, easy and easy to double or triple and freeze...stick the ingredients in a Freezer bag and WALAH dinner for three nights (or take one to a friend!)
I buy 3 pounds of Hamburger, brown it with one small fresh onion and 2 Tablespoons minced garlic.

1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (
1/4 cup dehydrate onions
2 cups Pace Picante (or any other salsa) Mild, or HOT
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles
1 1/2 Table Spoons chili powder
2 Table Spoons Cumin
pinch of Cayenne pepper (to taste)
3 Table Spoons Garlic Salt
1 can (15 to 16 oz) pinto beans with juice
1 can (15 to 16 oz) kidney beans with juice
Shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired
Sliced green onions, if desired


1. In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
2. In 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix beef mixture and remaining ingredients.
3. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
4. Top with cheese and onions.

* For Freezing, I just build one soup in the Crock-Pot, and two more in Gallon Freezer bags set in bowls.
Throw contents in Crock pot, for about the same amount of time....or cook in a Pot if you are in a hurry!
YUMMY with tortilla chips or bread!

One Ingredient FAT FREE- Banana ICE-CREAM





Ingredient:
Frozen Chopped ripe banana's

Extras:
Frozen Strawberries, Mango, Blueberries....chocolate sauce, Peanut Butter



One Ingredient Banana Ice Cream. Seriously! As a Mom of a Diabetic kid...I was like, No way...WAY DUDE! Put about four chopped, frozen bananas in the food processor. ( I have a TON because I always have frozen chopped banana's in Gallon bags at my house, perfect for a teething baby , or a cool snack for lil' kids to munch! (Let them sit on the counter for 10 minutes or so so they aren’t quite so hard. Pulse until they are well chopped up. Then let the food processor or blender, but make sure it is a HIGH Quality blender ( RIP my cheap Black and Decker blender).. run for 2-3 minutes, you can scrape it down a few times, but it will soon become a wonderfully smooth texture. It will look like a perfect soft-serve ice cream. The short people LOVE this stuff.Of course I had to put some chocolate syrup on top....but we have added extras like frozen strawberriess, blueberries, PB (with the PB ...ya lost the Fat-Free...but added some protein) This stuff is so smooth and creamy that you can’t even tell it’s banana—well, except for the flavor.You’ll want to freeze bananas before they get to that black, really overripe stage for this ice cream). Bananas just starting to get “freckles” are the best. If you like bananas, you’ve got to give this a try! A perfectly healthy treat ...and pretty darn delish too!
