Add FreshCap Mushrooms to your Favorite Recipes for a Healthy Boost

In our area of North Carolina, we’ve been battling bouts of snow and rain producing flood conditions. We’re about two days into a six day run of rain and with the combined temperatures of 40 degrees, we could really use some warming up. It also seems that any time we get wet weather, I have someone in my house come down with a case of the sniffles. I wanted a way to give some comfort in this dreary weather but also boost everyone’s immune system so I pulled out my dad’s Super Easy Chili recipe and tweaked it with my favorite Mushroom Extracts to give it the umph* we need to make it through what appears to be our own little monsoon season. But you know what they say, if you don’t like the weather in North Carolina; give it a minute, it’ll change!

Add FreshCap Mushrooms to my Dad’s Super Easy Chili Recipe

You’ll Need:

• 1 15 ounce can of Red Kidney Beans
• 1 15 ounce can of Pinto Beans
• 1 15 ounce can of Diced Tomatoes
• 1 8 ounce can of Tomato Sauce
• 1 8 ounce can of Sweet Corn (i used half a 15 ounce can because that’s all I had on hand)
• 1 pound of ground beef (or your preference of ground meat, preferably something that is lean)
• 1 16 ounce container of beef broth
• 2 tbs Chili Powder
• 1 tbs cumin (This is one of my favorites from the Chef’s Collection at Burlap and Barrel)
• 1 tbs Paprika
• 1 tbs Oregano
• 1/2 tbs onion powder
• 1/2 tbs garlic powder
• 1 scoop of Thrive 6 FreshCap Mushroom Extract
• If you like spice, add whole chilies until you reach the desired heat index (see my favorite from Burlap and Barrel)
• salt and pepper to taste

To cook:

• Brown the ground beef with the above mentioned seasonings (this is why you want something lean, as I typically do not drain fat and cook the meat with seasoning from the start to really impart some flavor)
• Add the additional canned ingredients and stir
• Depending on how ‘soupy’ you like your chili, add in the beef broth until you get your desired consistency
• bring to a boil and reduce to the lowest temperature and simmer for 2-3 hours
• Serve with CORNBREAD or saltine crackers, sour cream, and cheese.
• **BONUS – you could put this in the crock pot in the morning and it will be ready for supper at the end of the day
