- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 2 packs McCormick chili seasoning mild
- 2 (28 oz) cans crushed tomatoes
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel original
- 2 (16 oz) cans Bush's Chili Beans medium
- shredded cheese for topping
- sour cream for topping
Brown ground beef until fully cooked, and drain.
Return meat back to the same pan and add chili seasoning. Stir until the meat is completely covered with the seasonings.
Pour the rest of the ingredients into a large pot and stir. Then add the seasoned meat to the pot and stir it in.
Heat until the chili starts to simmer. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for at least an hour to an hour and a half, or until heated through and flavors have combined, stirring occasionally.
Serve with desired toppings.
To Freeze: Allow chili to cool completely. Divide into freezer bags. Carefully close the bags while getting as much air out as possible. Freeze bags laying flat in the freezer for up to 4-6 months for best quality. They can be frozen longer if stored properly.
To cook in the slow cooker, follow the same instructions, but pour ingredients into the slow cooker instead of a pot. Cook on low for 6-7 hours, or high for 3 to 4 hours.
