Cheryl's Best Crockpot Chile‏

Lisa's Corner Photo and Recipe

This recipe comes from my sister who is a master cook with several cooking degrees. When she first showed me this recipe, it looked too simple but when i made it, the flavor was out of this world! This is the only Chile I make, sometimes i add some red element to it, like red peppers. I make Chile omelette's, chiliaghetti...(mix it with spaghetti noodles) my hubby and daughters favorite, top it with jack cheese, onions and red pepper flakes...

Ingredients:

1 16-oz can pinto beans  16 ounce cans drained
1 16-oz can tomato  diced
2 pounds ground beef  browned and drained
2 medium onion
2 green bell pepper  coarsely chopped
1 stalk Celery chopped
3 cloves garlic  crushed
3 tablespoons chili powder or a little less
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon Salt


Instructions:

Put all ingredients in crock pot in order listed. Stir once. Cover and cook on low 10 to 12, do not lift the lid, do not over stir....you can also add other items that you like. You can add other types of beans as well, and be sure to use a white Onion, it does have a more Mexican flavor to it.
