Ingredients  

  • 1 tsp Olive oil extra virgin
  • ¾ cup bell pepper red, orange, and/or yellow, finely chopped
  • 2 lb ground beef lean
  • tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 can corn whole kernel, small canned size, juices drained
  • 2 can kidney bean dark, small canned size or 1 large can, juices drained
  • 1 can mushrooms sliced small canned size, juices drained
  • 2 796 mL diced tomatoes
  • 1 156 mL tomato paste
  • 1 213 mL tomato sauce
  • 1 ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp onion powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp coriander
  • 1 tbsp parsley dried
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 ½ - 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • 1. Using an all-in-one slow cooker on the brown setting, medium heat, sautee bell peppers in the olive oil for 2-3 minutes until they start to sweat.
  • 2. Add in your ground beef, and season with salt and pepper. Break any meat chunks apart, and cook until the meat is cooked fully through and the juices run clear. Remove lids from cans and drain juices from the corn, mushrooms, and beans.
  • 3. Once the ground beef is cooked, change the setting on your slow cooker (all-in-one cooker), to slow cook on low for 6 hours. Add in all remaining ingredients, and stir everything until well combined.
  • 4. Add the cover to the slow cooker and let the slow cooker do the work.
  • 5. Serve with your favorite rice, garlic bread, breadsticks, tortilla chips, or garlic fingers.
  • 6. Garnish the chili with some sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, and some shredded cheese.

Notes

HOW TO PREP AHEAD
This chili recipe is so easy to prepare ahead of time. Simply cook the ground beef the night before, measure out all of the spices and sugar, remove all the lids from the cans, and refrigerate.
Let the ground meat cool completely before adding it to an airtight container to refrigerate. Make sure you cover your spices and let them sit on the counter until you are ready
to use them to keep them fresh.
Ensure that you add all the canned goods together in a large mixing bowl or container, combine them, and refrigerate.
When you are ready to fire up the crockpot, toss everything in combine it all together, and start the slow cooking process.
