Jar Meals: Grandpa's Chili

No other dish reminds me of my Grandpa Davis more than this chili and I was so excited to transform it into a jar meal with Thrive!

Serve it over a warm slice of cornbread....mmmm....heaven.

I don't like super spicy things and I'd call this about a medium for heat.

Makes about 5 1/2 cups of chili.

Ingredients:
1 1/3 c. THRIVE Ground Beef (Hamburger) - Freeze Dried
 2/3 c. THRIVE Chopped Onions - Freeze Dried
 1/4 c. THRIVE Tomato Powder
 2 1/2 tbsp. Chili Powder
 2 tsp. THRIVE Iodized Salt
 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
 1/4 tsp. Dried Oregano
 1/2 c. THRIVE Mixed Bell Peppers
 2/3 c. THRIVE Tomato Dices - Freeze Dried
 2/3 c. THRIVE Instant Pinto Beans

Directions:

In a clean, dry quart jar layer the ingredients in the order listed, tamping down when necessary to accommodate each layer. Place lid on and store to use within a month or so. For longer storage, seal with a vacuum sealer.

To cook the chili:
1. Pour 6 cups of water into a large pot or Dutch oven. Pour contents of jar meal into water and stir well to combine.
2. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
3. Remove from heat, cover with lid, and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
