1 pound ground beef (or turkey) Substitute with lentils for a vegetarian version.
1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed Any type of beans works great.
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed Feel free to mix and match beans.
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 onion diced Use fresh for enhanced flavor.
2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is recommended.
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste Go easy on the salt.
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, or jalapeños

Brown the ground beef or turkey in a pan over medium heat until it's cooked through. Drain the excess fat.
Place the browned meat in the crockpot along with the beans, crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything well.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Before serving, taste the chili and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the chili into bowls and top with your favorite toppings.

For best results, serve with cornbread or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freezable for up to 3 months.
