Servings: persons

1 (14 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can baked beans (undrained, I used Bush's vegetarian beans)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (with juice)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 onion (chopped)
1 large garlic clove (or 2 small, chopped)
2 stalks celery (diced)
1 lb lean ground beef (or other meat)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (more or less for desired heat)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1
Assemble first 3 ingredients in slow cooker. Begin cooking on high heat.
2
Sautee fresh vegetables (next four ingredients) on medium heat until just softened (careful not to burn the garlic). Add to the slow cooker.
3
Cook meat in a pan until no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Add to slow cooker.
4
Stir in the spices.
5
Cook on high for 1-2 hours (or until the chili is very hot and simmering).
6
Turn down to low and cook until ready to eat. I let it cook for an additional 2 hours to let the flavors really come together.
7
Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.
