Krista's Homemade Chili

recipe credit: Krista Farr

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped (I like a lot of garlic, so I always do like 5)
1 can (14 1/2 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 Tbsp chili powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can (15 or 16 oz) kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Cook beef until no longer pink. Combine all ingredients except beans into slow cooker. Cook on low 4-6 hours. Add beans in the last 30-45 minutes of cooking.

(For variety, I sometimes add a can of corn or a 1/2 cup of uncooked long grain rice.)

Top with:
onion
sour cream
shredded cheese
tortilla chips
