Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Drain beef mixture; add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or until vegetables are tender.
- Add the beans, mushrooms, zucchini and parsley. Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Serve with cheese if desired.
- Yields 6 servings.

- NOTES. By adding Italian seasoning and fresh vegetables, our Test Kitchen put an Italian spin on slow-simmered Southwestern chili.
- Bobbie's Note: This was very good. I served it for a family party and they wanted the recipe. I did add an extra half can of beans. This recipe served 8 easily.
