recipe: crock pot chili!

last saturday, katie & i woke up and decided to go errand running first thing that morning. while in target, i decided i wanted to give my step mom's delicious chili recipe a try. she bought me a crock pot over 2 years ago, and i still hadn't used it. so we picked up all the ingredients and went for it.

what you'll need:

• 1.5 (ish) pounds of ground beef (or turkey)
• 1 packet of chili seasoning
• 1 large can kidney beans
• 1 large can of black beans
• 2 cans of "chili magic"
• 2 cans of chili beans
• green peppers (i got the pre cut kind from HT)
• onions (also pre-cut)
• tomatoes (again, pre-cut)

what to do:

1. brown the onions in a skillet. i added a little bit of oil and salt and pepper.
2. once browned, add the meat and also brown it. once it is cooked, add the chili powder to the pan.
3. throw everything else in the crock pot. i used all the tomatoes and about half of the green peppers.
4. add the meat & onions.
5. cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. serve with cheese on top!

it was so yummy, i'm making it again this weekend!
