Most of the recipes I found don’t include the ingredients I placed in mine. This is another new recipe I came up with for a chili cook-off. It went just as fast as the Southwestern style chili did and many people enjoyed it, as well. This, also, is meant to be cooked and then sit overnight.
Ready in: 16 hours

Preparation method

Prep: 45 mins | Cook: 7 hours | Extra time: 8 hours 15 mins

1. Heat oil over medium heat, and cook peppers, onions, and garlic until softened. Add ground beef and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until meat is browned and crumbly; do not drain. Stir in chili beans, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in water. Add remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed. Keep on low to medium-low heat and cook for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally. Turn off and refrigerate overnight. In the morning (or when desired) heat chili over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and let cook another 3-4 hours, or until ready to consume.
