Chicken or Pork Catchatory

4-6 Chicken Breast or Boneless Pork Chops
1-2 Onions, sliced into thin wedges
1-2 Bell Peppers, sliced
1 Lg can concentrated crushed tomatoes
1/2 tomato can of water
Salt & Pepper to taste
Olive Oil

Add a splash of Olive Oil to pan or Crock-Pot, then add in chicken breast/pork. Place Onion and Peppers on top on meat and add tomatoes & 1/2 can water. Add salt & pepper and simmer over low/med heat for 30 minutes, if using Crock-Pot place lid on and let cook for about 4 hours. Check after a while and adjust spices if desired and continue cooking until meat is cooked through. Serve with Pasta or Rice.

Chili

1lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cans red beans (I like them b/c they are a little smaller than kidney beans and don't get that meal-y bean taste)
2 lg cans concentrated crushed
tomatoes1 can tomato paste (Optional)
Chili powder
Cayenne pepper powder
Crushed red pepper flakes
Salt & Black pepper to taste.

Brown beef in stockpot and drain out excess fat. Add onion & pepper & celery if using. Cook on med just a few minutes, add tomatoes and seasonings. Cook until hot, then add beans, salt & pepper. Continue tasting and simmering until desired taste/thickness is reached. I love a Mexican/taco cheese mix on top when serving!
**Can also be put in crock-pot once all ingredients are added to finish cooking**
