Equipment

  • 1 Crockpot
  • 1 Mini Crockpot optional- I use this for the kid friendly version

Method
 

  1. Brown two oz of ground beef in a pan. You do not need to season but can add salt and pepper if wanted.
  2. Add cooked ground beef, both cans of diced tomatos, tomato sauce, pinto beans (drained), and both packs of chili seasoning to crock pot. Mix together. If your child is like mine this is where I take out a small portion and add it to a mini crock pot.
  3. Dice onion and pepper and add to large crock pot.
  4. Add garlic powder and onion powder to taste. Add red pepper flake to preference of spice level. This should only be added to large crock pot.
  5. Cook on low for two hours. Serve with sour cream and cheese.
