Tasty Tuesday - YOUR Stuff: Sweet Heat Chili

This recipe is from Krystal Pike - she was the first person to share a recipe or tip with me a while back and I was SO excited! Her Chili recipe sounds amazing - her kids even say it is better than McDonald's! I told her all you red-meat eaters would be grateful for it, given that everything I post is sweets, poultry or veg! Enjoy!

Krystal Pike's Sweet Heat Chili

1 Medium onion
1 large green pepper
3 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound of ground beef
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups beef broth

1 can black beans
2 cups sun-dried tomatoes

1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 tsp Cajun seasoning
