Spicy Slow-Cooked Chili


"This spicy and satisfying chili is made in the slow cooker. Start it before you head off to work, and return to a homemade meal ready to eat! I like to put two scoops of sour cream in with my bowl."

Ingredients:

·         2 pounds ground beef
·         2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
·         2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained
·         1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
·         2 onions, chopped
·         1 green bell pepper, chopped
·         2 cloves garlic, minced
·         3 tablespoons chili powder
·         1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
·         2 teaspoons salt
·         1 teaspoon ground black pepper
·         1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation:

1.       Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

2.       Combine ground beef, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 10 hours, or High for 4 hours.

3.       Garnish each serving with Cheddar cheese.
