So easy, so simple. Tastes awesome. Not too hot, but not wimpy either.
Ingredients
3 pounds of meat (stew beef, sausage, hamburg)
You can use 1 pound of each if you wanted.
If using sausage or burger brown it first in a skillet and drain the fat.
2 medium onions coarsely chopped
2 ribs of celery coarsely chopped
2 cloves of Garlic, crushed or finely chopped
1 green pepper coarsely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) Tomato Paste
3 cans (15 ounce) red Kidney beans drained
2 cans (15 ounce) crushed tomatoes
3 Tablespoons of chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon pepper
salt to taste (optional)
1 small can of mushroom pieces drained (optional)
Throw it all in a crock pot and leave it alone. Cook for 10-12 hours on low or 5-6 hours on high. Do not stir for at least 8 hours (low) and 4 hours on high (guessing here because I always cook on low). Stir softly not to smash the beans.
First time I made it I used just stew beef. It came out awesome. Second time I made it I used a 1.5 pound London broil steak cut into cubes and 1.5 pounds of hot Italian sausage with the casings removed and browned in a skillet then drained in a colander. The sausage made it even tastier, but the beef was a little tough. For sure use stew style beef.
Everyone who has tried it so far liked it allot.
Anyone have any variants?
