you made chili with what?! carrot-based chili recipe

Since the carrot-based tomato sauce was a hit, why not try it for chili?  I cut this recipe in half, and my very picky 4-year-old ate it!  (The rest of us had the real thing made with tomatoes.)

Carrot-based Chili

2 cans carrots, drained

1 1/2 c. chicken broth

1/2 to 1 can red kidney beans, drained (0ptional)

1/8 tsp. paprika

1/8 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. oregano

add garlic, onion salt to your taste (we leave this out--I'm allergic and quit using onion/garlic in recipes a long time ago)

1/2 lb. ground beef

Puree all but last ingredient in blender.  Add browned ground beef and heat.  Serve with Fritos and cheese/cheese alternative if desired.
