Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef (I used organic grass fed beef, but this can also be replaced with ground turkey)
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 15 oz. can pinto beans
- 2 11.5 oz. cans Ro-Tel (When I lived in New York, where Ro-Tel isn’t, I’d see this in recipes and wonder what the hell it was. It’s canned diced tomatoes and green chiles. If you don’t have Ro-Tel, you can use 2 cans diced tomatoes and add another can of diced green chil
- 1 6 oz can tomato paste
- 1 4 oz. can diced green chiles
- 3/4 c. beer (light beer, like Corona, but sometimes I make it with dark)
- 2 tsp chili powder (I use Penzey’s Chili 3000 blend, but any blended chili powder will do)
- 1 1/2 tsp. ancho chile powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt to taste
Directions
- Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Brown the ground beef with the onion and the garlic until no pink remains.
-
Put browned meat with other ingredients into crockpot or slow cooker, give it a good stir, and leave to cook on low for8-9 hours or high for 4-6. (I think it’s better when it’s cooked on low, and even better if you eat it the next day).
- Serve to your Super Bowl watchers topped with an option of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, diced onions and crumbled tortilla chips with a nice cold beer and watch it disappear.
