Help me convert my favorite chili recipe!
I'm craving the crockpot chili I used to love but I want to use fresh ingredients instead of canned. I know to use dried beans and fresh tomatoes instead of canned but how much? How do I account for the extra water/juice they're packed in since it's part of the recipe? And the chili beans and Rotel I'm clueless on:scratch Here's what I need to replace:
2 cans (16 oz each) kidney beans, undrained 2 cans (16 oz each) chili beans, undrained 28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained 2 cans (10 oz each) Rotel, undrained And here's the recipe if it helps... (I make my own taco seasoning so that's taken care of already:)) Slow-Cooked Chunky Chili 2 lbs lean ground beef (or ground turkey) 1 large onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 2 cans (16 oz each) kidney beans, undrained 2 cans (16 oz each) chili beans, undrained 28 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained 2 cans (10 oz each) Rotel, undrained 1 packet taco seasoning (or 8 tsp. homemade) Brown ground meat with bell pepper and onion. Drain fat. Place in a 5-quart slow cooker. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low at least 4-5 hours. 12+ is best! TIA :heart |

Help with chili beans:
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-chili-beans.htm Copycat rotel recipe: http://www.food.com/recipe/Rotel-Tom...-Copycat-20049 You're going to need lots more spices to replicate those spices but I don't think the extra water will be a problem--since you're going to need to cook the beans and tomatoes anyway :shrug |

You're precooking the beans, right? 1.5 cups equals 1 can.
