Slow Cooker Beef Chili


It's chili season, and I am excited about the cooler temperatures here in Texas.  This is probably my favorite chili yet.  It's just the right texture for my taste and who doesn't love avocados?  I also enjoyed this with Frito's.  Too much goodness in one dish.  I hope you enjoy!

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3/4 cup diced onion
  • 3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 (15.5 oz) cans kidney beans, drained
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can great northern beans, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef until mostly browned. Add in the onion and bell pepper and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.  Add the beef mixture to a slow cooker. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook on low for at least 4 hours (but it can be cooked all day long).
