Slow-Cooker Chili {Recipe}

Thursdays are our crazy day.  Between preschool, kindergarten, homework, and ballet there is little time to cook a great dinner.

I've been trying out new recipes and this one is a winner.I actually combined a few different recipes I found to suit our taste.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 tsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 can Brooks Chili Beans
1 can Red Beans
1 can Chili Flavored Diced Tomatoes
1 - 4 oz. tomato paste
1/2 c. beef broth (you can use more if you like you chili thinner)
1 packet chili season mix. I like this one.
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. cocoa

Directions:

Pour olive oil in a skillet.  Saute onions and green peppers until soft.  Add in ground beef and cook thoroughly.  Add in garlic until slightly soft.  Add to slow cooker.  Add all other ingredients.  Mix.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
