3

2

1

15
ounce

28
ounce

15
ounces

Instructions
If your slow cooker has a brown/saute function, turn it on. Otherwise, heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
If cooking on the stovetop, transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce and stir well.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Serve topped with shredded cheese, diced green onions, and sour cream/plain Greek yogurt!
Enjoy!
For Freezer Meal:
Cook ground beef in a pan on the stovetop.
Add ground beef and all other chili ingredients (except for toppings) to a freezer bag. Freeze flat until ready to cook.
Once ready to cook, thaw bag overnight. I find it's helpful to put it on a plate or in a baking dish to prevent any leakage.
Place in slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
