Thanks to one of our customers who've tried this in their chili. We took their suggestion and whipped up a batch last week, adding our spicy pizza sauce for some extra zing! Recipe follows:
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef
3 Cans Chili Beans, 1 Can Pinto Beans - black beans are also great, but didn't use in this batch
1 Small can Tomato Paste
I large can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
1 each Yellow Onion, Green Pepper, Red Pepper, Jalepeno pepper, Serano pepper.
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 Tablespoon each Black Pepper and Red Pepper Flakes
1 Teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt, freshly ground
Brown Hamburger, drain grease, add to crockpot.
Add all peppers to skillet with a teaspoon of Olive Oil. Cook for 5 minutes. Add to crockpot.
Add canned beans, tomato paste, and all seasonings.
Set crockpot on low for 8-9 hours. Add your favorite toppings. We like shredded sharp cheddar, raw white or green onions, and sour creme.
Enjoy!
