Ingredients

  • 2-3 cans of beans kidney, chickpea, etc. -- just be sure to rinse them really well
  • 1-2 peppers chopped (green, yellow, something colorful)
  • Big handful of mushrooms quartered
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tsp or more chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp or more cumin
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder garlic powder (or not, I just use what I like)
  • salt/pepper a dash, a sprinkle
  • 1 big can of diced tomatoes
  • 1 big can of tomato sauce
  • 1-2 packs of ground round or ground beef

Instructions 

  • First, sauté the onions in a pan, then add in your ground round of beef. (Totally option -- this recipe is fabulous as a veg option!)
  • Next, add in everything else, pop a lid on it, set your timer for high and leave it alone 5-7 hours. Doesn't get much easier than that.
  • Sometimes, about an hour before I'm going to enjoy my tasty meal, I'll toss in a small handful of rice, especially if things are looking a little watery. Really depends on how liberal I've been with other ingredients. Feel free to play around!
  • Sometimes I'll do this recipe on the stove (as shown in the photo), if I have the time, but I really think it tastes better the longer you cook it!
