  • 25 mL (1½ Tbsp) chili powder

Directions

  1. Dice the onion and peppers. Mince the garlic. 
  2. Sauté ground meat in a large frying pan over medium heat for 4–5 minutes. 
  3. Add onion to the pan and sauté until tender (another 4–5 minutes).  
  4. Add peppers, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well. 
  5. Spoon the meat mixture into the slow cooker. Add the beans, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatoes and chilis with juice, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine.

NOTES: We like to top our chili with sour cream, tortilla chips, and shredded cheese! To make this chili vegetarian, you can leave out the meat and replace it with more beans of your choice.
