How to Make Leave Me For You Chili
- **Prep the Meat (Choose Your Adventure):** For the slow cooker method, skip ahead to step 4. For faster cooking (approx. 30 min), brown 1 lb ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.
- **Sauté Aromatics (Optional):** For deeper flavor, sauté 1 medium chopped onion and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in the pot with the browned beef until softened (about 5 min).
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large pot (or slow cooker), combine the following:
- **Slow Cooker Method:** Transfer all ingredients to your slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
- **Stovetop Method:** Bring all ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, stirring occasionally.
- **Before Serving:** Stir well before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
- **Enjoy!** This chili is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
