Instructions:
-
Brown the Meat: Begin by browning the ground beef (you can also opt for ground turkey or pork) in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
-
Prepare the Vegetables: While the meat is browning, dice the green, red, and yellow bell peppers, along with the onion and jalapeno.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium to large crock pot, add the browned meat, diced peppers, onion, jalapeno, tomato paste, water, chili beans, dark red kidney beans (make sure to drain them), chili powder, Tabasco sauce, and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
-
Cook in Crock Pot: Stir all the ingredients together in the crock pot, ensuring that they are well combined. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften.
-
Stir Occasionally: Occasionally stir the chili while it cooks to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed and nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the chili is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve hot. Be warned, this chili is extremely spicy, so proceed with caution if you’re sensitive to heat!
This hearty and flavorful Spicy Jalapeno and Bell Pepper Chili is sure to warm you up on a chilly evening, making it perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner. Bon appétit! 🍲🔥
