Chili

Now that it is getting cooler I have started making Chili. Everyone has a favorite recipe. This is the one I have been using lately:

2 pounds ground beef

2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or one can of kidney and one can of black)

2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 medium onions, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

Red pepper flakes to taste

Ground Cumin to taste

Shredded Cheddar cheese

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a slow cooker. Add the next eleven ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4 hours. Garnish individual servings with cheese if desired.

I also like to add sour cream and Fritos. I have also used this same recipe in a large pot if I don't have time for the slow cooker.
