What could be easier than making a BIG batch of this Mexicana Chili in the slow cooker to enjoy all week long!?!
Chop and onion, mince some garlic, brown the meat, and then comfortably sit back, put your feet up, and let the slow cooker do the rest. Easy, right?
“But what if I’m new to this whole cooking thing?”
No worries…the Cafe has you covered.
We will teach you how to chop an onion in under a minute – without shedding a tear.
And, we’ll even show you how to peel fresh garlic four different ways – just in case you’re keen and want to try all four.
From there, all you’ll require is faith in your ability to brown ground meat in the skillet without setting off the smoke alarm.
