Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain the grease.
  2. Put the drained beef and the remaining ingredients in a 6-quart pot or slow cooker and stir to combine.
  3. If using a pot, cover and simmer for at least 45 minutes. If you have time, I recomment to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes, for the best flavor.
  4. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 4 hours.
