Frugal Weekend Chili

We went grocery shopping yesterday at Lucky's.
We got about $89 worth of food, some frozen, some canned goods, some fresh veggies and a pie that we took to a friend's house (she cooked dinner last night-lovely kale salad, quinoa side, tri-tip main, and a beet app)

Today I went to work (per the usual)

And we're going out for lunch. But while waiting to go to lunch I managed to grab one of the ground turkey meat we bought, and whipped up a slow-cooker chili.

Here's the simple recipe (use what you have on hand)

-1 can whole green chile sliced
-1 can tomato sauce
-1 onion diced and browned
-1 can pinto beans
-1 can black beans
-20 oz ground turkey, browned thoroughly
-chili powder, whole dried chile, salt, pepper to season

The slow cooker, frugal cook's friend.
Mixed into the slow cooker, and set on high for four hours. To return to home tonight for some yummy chili with cheese and nachos. Delish! Definitely enough for seconds and lunch tomorrow.
