2 lbs 93% lean ground beef(that’s the ground up meat on the white tray covered in plastic)
1 large onion, chopped (use a yellow one – use a big knife and be ready to cry)
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large jalapeno, chopped
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 Tablespoon garlic salt (I use garlic powder.Either will work)
1 teaspoon salt(that’s the white stuff in the shaker thing)
¼ teaspoon pepper (that’s the black stuff in the grinder thing)
1 tsp sugar (that’s the white stuff that DOESN”T taste like salt)
1 28oz can crushed tomatoes(in the grocery store, the big cans, it will say CRUSHED TOMATOES!)
1 28oz can tomato puree(in the grocery store, the big cans, it will say TOMATO PUREE)
2 14 oz cans beans (kidney or hot chili beans or whichever else you prefer)
1.Dump the ground beef into a large skillet.Cook until brown. 2.Remove the beef from the pan, leaving the grease behind(it shouldn’t be too much grease because you’re using low-fat ground beef). 3.Saute chopped onion and green pepper in remaining grease from beef for about 7-8 minutes (it should get soft). 4.Add beef back to the mix.Add spices, mix well and allow to stand covered for 1 hour.You MIGHT want to add a little more of the spices since you like spicy.TASTE IT FIRST THOUGH.J 5.Pour into crock pot and add tomatoes, tomato puree and beans. 6.Cook in crock pot on low at least 4 hours. 7.This is GREAT leftover!!!J
**This makes kind of runny chili.If you like your chili thicker, you can use ½ the puree (buy a 14oz can instead of a 28oz can)!
I'm making this today! It is so good!
