Turkey Pumpkin Chili (slow cooker)

Another recipe I found in the January 2015 Women's Day magazine that I would like to try:
Need to find a substitute for sour cream.

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
15 oz. can pumpkin puree
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
3/4 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (I would probably leave this out)
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 4.5 oz. cans green chiles
2 15 oz. cans white beans, rinsed
sour cream, Daiya cheddar shreds, sliced radishes, and fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

In a 5-6 qt.slow cooker, whisk together the broth, pumpkin, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, and cayenne.  Add the turkey and mix to combine.  Fold in the onion, garlic, chiles and beans and cook covered until the turkey is cooked through, 4-5 hours on high or 6-7 hours on low.  Serve with sour cream, Cheddar cheese, radishes and cilantro, if desired.

I'll post a picture when we try it.

Taco Soup

So easy and deliciously yummy!

1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1  15.25 oz can corn, drained
2  15 oz cans tomato sauce
2  15 oz cans kidney beans, drained
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 pkg taco seasoning (if you can find one without allergens)
OR  I make my own:
2 tsp. dried minced onion
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. crushed dried red pepper
1/2 tsp. dried minced garlic
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Brown the ground beef in an extra large saucepan.  Add all the remaining ingredients. Simmer until heated. Serve with corn tortilla chips, daiya cheddar style shreds, and dairy free soy free sour cream if you can find some (I haven't looked).

Beef Taco Bake

This is a good old super easy standby casserole.

3/4 to 1 lb ground beef (or you can use ground turkey)
1 -15 oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 cup rice milk
1 cup chunky salsa  (We use Pace mild.  You can up the spice by using Medium or Hot salsa).
8 corn tortillas, cut into 1 inch pieces
Shredded Daiya cheese, or cheddar cheese
Sour cream, optional
Avocado, optional
Corn chips, optional

Heat oven to 400° F.  Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, drain.  Add tomato sauce, rice milk and chopped tortillas.

Spoon into a 2 qt baking dish.

Cover and bake for 30 min. or until hot.  Top with Daiya cheddar style shreds, optional sour cream, and avocado.  Serve with optional corn chips.

This picture has regular cheddar cheese and sour cream.  

Hannah put Daiya on her serving, but ate it before I could get out the camera.
