Total Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes

Ingredients

* 1 lb. lean ground beef
* 1 medium yellow onion, diced
* 1 medium green pepper, red pepper or poblano pepper diced
* 2 Tbsp. chili powder
* 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
* 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
* 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes with juices
* 1 14 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
* 1 14 oz. can chili beans, undrained
* 1/2 cup ketchup
* 1/4 cup canned sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
* kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
* shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and fresh cilantro for garnish

Preparation

1. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Drain and transfer beef to the slow cooker. Add the next 10 ingredients (through jalapeno peppers) to the slow cooker.

3. Cook on high, 4-5 hours or low, 6-8 hours.

4. Just before serving, taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. If chili appears too watery, remove 1/2 to 1 cup of the liquid, stir in 1 Tbsp. of cornstarch and return it to the slow cooker. Cook until thickened, about 15 minutes.

Serve garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and fresh cilantro.
