Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Ground Meat beef, venison or turkey
  • 1 Large Onion diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 2 Stalks Celery diced
  • 5 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 15oz Can Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 6oz Can Tomato Paste
  • 1 10oz Can Chopped Tomatoes and Chilies
  • 1 29oz Can Tomato Sauce
  • 1 12oz Beer
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Add the ground meat to a large skillet and brown until no pink remains. Drain the fluid and add to the crock pot.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the crock pot, including the beer.
  • Stir well and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4-6 hours).
  • Remove the lid toward the end and turn to high for the last 30 minutes to thicken.

Notes

I always use venison - it's what I have an abundance of (we're a family of hunters) and it tastes great in a chili. This recipe works perfectly with ground beef though.
