Here is how you make Lean Beef Slow Cooker Chili:

Recipe calls for 8 servings - I was able to make about 12, near full cup servings, and I've adapted this recipe to do so. Brown ground beef, bell pepper, and onion over medium-high heat in a skillet, drain well. Add to slow cooker.Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl, then add to beef in cooker; gently stir.Place lid on slow cooker, cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours OR on HIGH for 3 to 3 1/2 hours until heated through. Serve directly from slow cooker. NOTES: I used a slow cooker liner and had a nice easy time with cleanup. I also tend to have a hard time with spicy foods, which is why I used a mild chili seasoning packet. I didn't top with any sour cream, but it tastes fantastic with a bit of taco seasoning sprinkled on it!Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ALLTHELIVESOFME.
