Classic Chili in the Slow Cooker

Classic Chili

1 yellow onion

1 red bell pepper

3 cloves garlic

4 tbsp. chili powder

1 tbsp. cumin

2 lbs. ground beef

1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes with green chilis

1 14 oz. tomato sauce

2 cans beans, rinsed and drained

Brown the ground beef, until no pink remains.

Chop the onion, pepper and garlic,

Saute until softened.

Drain and rinse the beans.

Add all ingredients along with the seasonings to your slow cooker.

I like to add some oregano and basil...

...and for some extra kick, crushed red pepper.

Cover and cook until the chili thickens and the flavors blend, 

about 6 hours on the high setting.

Serve with

Sour Cream

Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Thinly sliced Green Onions

In a medium bowl combine taco seasoning,

(and you all know I like to make my own taco seasoning...

find the recipe here)

chilies, condensed soup and chicken broth.

Pour over top of ingredients in the crock pot.

I often prepare my soups the night before

 and put the crockpots in the refrigerator overnight.

Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.

Before serving, shred the chicken.

Top with sour cream, chopped green onion, and cheese.
