Hi Cubers. In my continued efforts to use what I have on hand, and to turn said items into freezer meals, I present you with garden chili. Last night I noticed a few cans of forgotten Muir Glen chili starter in my pantry and decided to make a big batch of chili this morning. I have a lot of ground beef from previously buying 1/4 cow about a year ago, and my garden is starting to really churn out veggies. To the 3 cans chili starter I added 3lbs of ground beef, 3 green peppers, a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes, shredded zucchini, and corn. Turned out great and will get vacuum sealed and taken to work for lunches.

Thanks for giving me an outlet to share my efforts!!

I will admit that I have three freezers full of food. To be fair - I cook a lot but I’m working on decluttering my freezers. I’m focusing on using the frozen items I already have to create meals, or components of meals, to help feed my family.

Today I make baked coconut rice, Korean ground beef, and mushroom risotto (photo).

Mushroom risotto was made from a combo of recipes. First time I’ve made risotto.
