- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup onion, diced
- 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth (or 1.5 cups water and recommended amount bullion)
- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
- 1⁄2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 2 (16 ounce) cans chili style beans (not drained, the kind that comes in seasonings)
- 2 (16 ounce) cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained (or pinto or kidney, whatever kind of bean you prefer to use in yours)
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, to add extra spiciness)
directions
- Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet just until browned.
- Transfer the beef and onions to either a crock pot or a large pot on the stove.
- Add all of the liquid ingredients then all of the spices and stir together. If you think you need or like a little more liquid add a little bit of water, use your judgment on the amount of liquid, it should cover the beans and beef easily but not be overly soupy.
- Cook covered over low heat on the stove for at least an hour or two, stirring gently every 20 minutes or so, OR cook in a crock pot on low for about 6 hours.
- Let sit off the heat for about 15 minutes and serve with some crackers or bread and some shredded cheese. Enjoy! :).

I am from north Dakota, the cold state :) I Love food a little too much but I am one of the picky ones, there is a lot of food I Don't like, but I Love cooking just about anything. Right now I am going to School for culinary arts, and loving all the things I'm learning, despite the challenges of going back to school at the age of 33. Though I spend a lot of time working with food I have so very little time to make my own! But I love it anyway :) I Have a little brat of a mini Doxie who is my one ad only baby, but I have lots of other cuties in My life that are very special to me, like my godson in the picture with me above :)
