• 1 - 1 1/2 lb ground beef, browned and drained
• 1 large yellow sweet onion, chopped
• 1 large green bell pepper, chopped

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 (15 ounce) can ranch style beans, NOT drained
• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, NOT drained

• 1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages McCormick mild chili seasoning
• 2 teaspoons salt
• pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in a large crock pot / slow cooker on low (INCLUDING ALL THE JUICE I NEVER DRAIN ANY BEANS).
2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. Dig in! I love to add cheese and sour cream in my chili! YUM!
4. 2nd day is even better!
5. Other have said they prefer Pinto beans in theirs. Ranch Style beans could be hard to find but I looked at the top shelf of the beans at my local store. They are beans with other flavorings into it.
