Slow Cooker Chili

I am freezing my feet off right now, literally! So all I want to post about is warm meals that you do not have to stand in the kitchen and make. Chili is both warm and a slow cooking all day kind of meal. It is something which fill you up as well as warm you up. Although there are a lot of ingredients to this recipe, it is not hard at all. A lot of it is store bought canned items and you really only have to pop open the cans and mix it all together!


INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup diced celery
3/4 cup diced green bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (10.75 ounce) cans tomato puree
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans with liquid
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans with liquid
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the beef in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain grease.

2. Place the beef in a slow cooker, and mix in onion, celery, green bell pepper, garlic, tomato puree, kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Season with chili powder, parsley, salt, basil, oregano, black pepper, and hot pepper sauce.

3. Cover, and cook 8 hours on Low.
