Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs 85-percent lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup finely diced green bell pepper

  • 15 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 15 oz canned diced tomatoes

  1. Brown beef, onion, and bell pepper in a skillet over medium-high heat 9 to 10 minutes, crumbling beef, until it reaches 160°F.
  2. Drain fat; cook garlic and chili powder with beef 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer to a 6-quart crockpot. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, brown sugar, and salt.
