Dads Crock Pot Chilli

Into a large crock pot (slow cooker) add the following ingredients *in this order*


3-4 cups (dry) of your favorite beans
wash the beans, soak overnite and then boil for 2 hours to prepare. You can substitute 5-6 canned beans from the store, just be sure to rinse them first.

1-2 lbs cubed chuck steak
cut in large chunks-browned and drained

2 16 oz. cans stewed/sliced tomatoes, fresh tomatoes can be substituted

2 medium to large onions of your favorite type (for this I use the purple ones)
cut the onions in big-ish chunks

2 medium to large bell peppers
cut the peppers into large chunks

several cloves of garlic , finely chopped

2 or so tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon oregano

1/4 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

(optional) 1/4 - 1 teaspoon salt


Once the ingredients are all in the crock pot, take a large spoon or ladle and slowly work it all the way to the bottom of the pot. Then carefully pull the spoon up through the center of the ingredients and remove. Don't stir, just one pull from bottom to top.

If you cooked your beans you can "prime the pot" with a half to a cup of bean juice, or you can use plain water.

Put the slow cooker on low and let cook for at least 12 hours.

Enjoy the best chilli you ever had!!

Yum...
i tryed this yesterday as i felt like chilli, so i copyed this..

ITS Great!!!

truly the best, i shall pass this on!

This is perfectly what i need right now. Every once in a while i find myself in serious iron deficiency mode. Meaning i can't stop thinking about blood. Some would say I have a case of vampirism in me but i don't care for consuming straight blood so i'll settle for the above more palatable recipe to correct my current affliction.

So, do u think i can buy everything i need in Walmart?

Well, maybe. I dont know about the veggies and meat, but they would certainly have the slow cooker and all the spices you'd need.

Glad you guys enjoyed the recipe, I'll tell Dad!!

It's Crock Pot Chili season again, and as such I'm shamelessly bumping this thread!

I'm also updating the recipe to includ CUMIN, which I forgot when I originally typed this up, so here goes:
