Easy Meaty Chili and bread bowls

1 lb of chili beef (or just regular ground beef or ground sirloin)

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can tomato sauce

1 can Bush's chili

1 packet of taco seasoning

1/2 green pepper roughly chopped

1/2 red pepper roughly chopped

3 green onions chopped (or regular onion is fine too - I used what I had on hand)

1/4 can of beer (or more if you want it soupy as opposed to stew like)

dash (or three) of worchestershire sauce



Dump it all in your crockpot and stir. Cook on high for 4 hrs or low for 8. I put the chili beef in frozen and it worked fine. Use the rest of the can of beer for beer bread if you like.


You can also make this on the stove top. You'll just have to brown the beef/peppers/onions ahead of time and then heat until warm.


This recipe is not spicy hot. If you want it that way, add a few cans of green chiles and a dash of cayenne pepper or Franks hot sauce.
