Course beef, crockpot, Dinner
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 29 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 6 ounce can tomato paste (I use Contadina brand with Italian herbs)
- 1 16 ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 16 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can Bush’s chili starter aka the secret weapon DON’T DRAIN
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Brown meat in large skillet. Add onion and green pepper halfway through the browning process. Drain grease. Pour into slow cooker.
Stir in all remaining ingredients except for the cheddar cheese. (I told you it is so easy!)
Cover. Cook on high 3 hours or low 7-8 hours. (I highly recommend cooking the chili on low, the longer it simmers the better it will be.)
Serve in bowls (bread bowls work great) topped with cheddar cheese.
