Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (15-ounce) cans chili beans in sauce
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15-ounce can) black beans, drained
2 (15-ounce cans) fire-roasted diced tomatoes (crushed tomatoes are also good)
2 medium green peppers (chopped (about 3 cups chopped))
2 medium yellow onions (chopped (about 3 cups chopped))
2 medium cloves garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
20 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional)
1 pound lean ground beef
2 pounds lean ground beef

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients except the Tabasco (if using) and the ground beef to the slow-cooker/Crock Pot. Stir. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. Taste and add Tabasco if desired. If serving an all-vegan chili, skip to "Serve with toppings."
  • In a medium or large saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium heat with a little salt and pepper for flavor, if you wish. Drain off any fat. Add five cups of the chili to the browned ground beef. Stir, continuing the medium heat, and heat until boiling. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 - 30 minutes.
  • In a medium or large saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium heat with a little salt and pepper for flavor, if you wish. Drain off any fat. Add to the chili in the Crock Pot either at the beginning of the cooking process or near the end.
  • Serve with assorted toppings such as diced avocado, fresh cilantro, chopped onions, sour cream (or vegan sour cream), grated cheddar or jack cheese (or vegan cheese), and some Tabasco or Tapatio sauce.

This recipe is a great starting point for making chili. I like to add some extra vegetables, such as corn and bell peppers, to make it even more hearty.

I've tried this recipe several times and I've never been able to get it right. The chili always turns out too watery.

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chili was way too spicy for me. I had to add a lot of sour cream to cool it down.
