Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 yellow or red pepper chopped
  • 3 jalapeños seeded and diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 15 ounces cooked pinto beans 1 can
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • ½ cup Dr. Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
  • For serving: Gluten Free Rolls optional Shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and limes

Instructions

  • Set your slow cooker to saute and add ground beef. (You can also do this on the stove if your crock pot doesn’t have a saute function.)
  • Cook until almost brown. Add onion, yellow pepper, jalapeño and garlic. Cook for 8 minutes.
  • Add pinto beans, crushed tomatoes, Dr. Pepper, apple cider vinegar, chili powder, ground cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Cook over high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • If desired, cut the center out of gluten free rolls.  (Reserve for breadcrumbs.)  Add chili to the "bowls" and top with cheese.  Place under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Notes

Note: Browning the ground beef and sautéing the vegetables is optional. I prefer it this way, but you can also simply add everything to your crock pot and cook.
