Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef (I use 85% or 90%)
  • 2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 15-ounce cans kidney beans
  • 1 6-ounce cans tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onions (about 2 medium onions)
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 4-ounce can mushrooms, sliced or chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 16-ounce can pork and beans
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground  cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Break the beef up and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes or until no longer pink.
  2. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 12 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
