Ingredients

  • 500 g ground beef (1 lb)
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • ½ red pepper
  • ½ green pepper
  • ½ yellow pepper
  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 can plum tomatoes (or chopped tomatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato puree
  • ¼ cup beef broth (stock)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley to garnish
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • grated cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground chilli peppers
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cumin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat up the oil in a pan set over a stove top.
  2. Add the ground beef and use a spatula or wooden spoon to break it, stirring continuously until no longer pink.
  3. Transfer the brown meat to the slow cooker.
  4. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic, then chop the peppers.
  5. Add them to the slow cooker together with the plum tomatoes, spices, bay leaves, salt, pepper and beef broth.
  6. Leave to cook on high for about 3.5-4 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours.
  7. Add the tomato puree, chopped parsley, and give it a good stir.
  8. Top with grated cheese.

Notes

  • Depending on how much liquid the tomatoes have, you might have to add less broth or not at all, otherwise the chili will be too watery. If that does happen, just use a ladle to remove some liquid, unless you like a more soup-like consistency.
  • Very little liquid is absorbed in the crock pot, unlike on the stove top, so you always have to add a lot less liquid than you would normally add when cooking the chili on the cooker.
