Caribbean Chili


Sweet and spicy! I had this chili at a pampered chef party, lost the recipe and tried to recreate it. I have added my own lime juice and cilantro to this with diced tomatoes in case you cannot find the cilantro and lime flavored tomatoes. I have also used peach-mango salsa and pineapple salsa as well. The idea is to add 1 can of tomatoes per lb of meat/can of beans. We eat this with cornbread and topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. Also makes a great chili dog.

Steps


Season meat with salt and pepper.
In a large dutch oven brown ground meat.
While meat is browning drain and rinse beans.
Add chopped bell pepper and onion.
Cook until onion is translucent.
Add beans and cook for a about 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and salsa.
Bring to a simmer and add spices , start out small until you reach the amount of kick you like.
Depending on the heat in the salsa and the tomatoes you use , the amount of spice varies.
Cook at a low simmer for about 30 minutes.
