That's a bold name, right? Adding "THE EASIEST" to something really sets a high bar...but I promise, this chili lives up to that. You'll feel like a hero for feeding the family (or your hairdresser, I don't know who you make meals for) something that's super rich in protein and has vegetables in it. I was GOING to call this "The Easiest Crockpot Chili Ever Ever Ever" but that seemed aggressive.
What you need:
(for a 2.5-quart crock pot full of chili...we have this crockpot, so you know what size we're talking)
- --1 lb. (ish) of ground beef OR ground turkey
- --1 can crushed tomatoes
- --1 15.5 oz can black beans, drained, rinsed, you know the drill
- --1 15.5 oz can of dark red kidney beans, also drained/rinsed
- --1 onion
- --1 green pepper
- --1-2 cloves of fresh garlic, if you're feeling fancy (or you can use 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- --3 tablespoons of chili powder
- --1/2 teaspoon pepper
- --1/4 teaspoon cumin (a.k.a. just a dash...no need to actually measure out such a small amount!)
- --Cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top to look impressive
What to do:
- 1. Brown your meat.
- 2. While that's happening, chop your 1 onion and 1 green pepper.
- 3. Dump everything into your crockpot & set it to low.
- 4. Go to work for 8 hours like a productive member of society.
- 5. Come home.
- 6. Enjoy a house that smells amazing and dinner that's already made.
(6-8 hours on low or 3 hours on high)
