Chili night just got an upgrade, courtesy of the firehouse. It's the kind of meal that says, "I'm here to extinguish your hunger."

serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 can (10 ounce size) Ro-Tel diced tomatoes and green chiles
1 can (12 ounce size) regular beer
2 cans (15 ounce size) Mexican beans, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin

optional
chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
shredded cheese

directions

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.

Stir in the tomatoes (undrained), beer, beans, chili powder, and cumin. Mix well then pour into the crock pot.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours to let the flavors meld. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving. Serve with cheese, optional.

crock pot notes

Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.
