Crock Pot Chili

This recipe is double to make 2 freezer bags

What you Need:
  
1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons chili powder (more if you like it spicy)
1 large can (798 mL) diced tomatoes, drained
1 can plain tomato sauce
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
salt and pepper to taste

Prep:
  • Brown the beef in a large pot.
  • Add onions, peppers, garlic and chili powder.
  • Cook until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes and 34 seconds.
  • Cool a bit and transfer to a large freezer ziplock bag.
  • To the bag add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beans.
  • Remove as much air as you can and freeze!


Cook:
  • Dump that frozen bag of goodness into your crock pot and turn it on low for the day. (Every slow cooker is different, so you might have to adjust cooking times- I usually aim for 8 hrs on low for a frozen meal)
