⏱ 370 mins 🍽 12 bowls, 10-12 serving(s) 🏷 Beans

This robust bean chili delivers a serious kick, combining ground beef with a colourful mix of diced bell peppers, jalapeno, and onion. The mixture is simmered slowly in a crock pot with tomato paste, spices, and two types of beans, including the sauce from the chili beans, to create a thick, flavourful dish. It is an ideal meal for a crowd, best served with fresh bread or crunchy corn chips to help balance the heat. The long cooking time allows all the ingredients to meld together perfectly.
