4 Star Texas Chili

This is an adaptation from an old Southern Living magazine Recipe:

1 lb each beef and pork for stew

1 large onion, chopped (3 c.)

½ c balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing

1 jar (16 oz) your favorite GFCF Salsa

1 can (14 oz) organic beef broth

1 TB chili powder

2 cans organic black beans, rinsed

4 cups brown rice

Brown meat and onion in dressing. Add broth, salsa, and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce to med-low, cover. Simmer 1 hour. Stir in beans. Cook uncovered 30 min. Serve over rice. Best of all: LEFTOVERS!

Toned-down, Parallel Meal: The Prince actually likes this, but if you need to create a parallel meal similar to this one, you could get a can of Bush’s Baked Beans (if your kids like sweet flavors, most Bush’s varieties are GFCF but remember the golden rule and check the label) and mix in some unseasoned, browned, ground beef or chicken, or maybe a cut-up cooked GFCF hot dog (aka GFCF “beanie weenie”). You can serve the rice on the side. Or you could just serve the black beans and rice, if you child prefers simple flavors.
