Even though it’s almost summertime, I really wanted to make chili. I usually make it in the slow-cooker, so it cooks all day, and the flavors really marry together well. I like getting off from work and having dinner ready to go. Everyone makes their chili different, and it is always different in each region of the country (just like barbeque!). Here’s how I make mine:
28 oz can of peeled, crushed tomatoes
16 oz can of chili beans
10 oz can of diced tomatoes with diced green chilies
1 and ½ lbs of ground beef
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
1 packet of chili seasoning (use your favorite kind)
½ tsp oregano
1/8 tsp allspice
Optional Topping Ingredients:
Sour cream
Sliced jalapenos
Hot Sauce
Shredded cheese
Chopped or diced onion
Chopped green onions
Crackers
Brown ground beef in skillet. Add ¼ tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp oregano, and 1/8 tsp allspice. Stir to combine. Drain the grease from the pan.In the slow-cooker, pour in the crushed tomatoes.Add the canned diced tomatoes with diced green chilies.Add the chili beansAdd the ground beef and chili seasoning packet.Stir to combine. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Turn setting to warm until ready to serve.Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
