CROCKPOT CHILI (100% fresh ingredients version)

9 oz pinto beans
9 oz kidney beans
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
5 lb. tomatoes, cored, chopped or pureed to desired consistency
6 oz poblano peppers, seeded and minced

2 onions, chopped
3 lbs ground beef (I use 85/15), browned*
8 tsp.taco seasoning

Soak beans overnight. Drain and rinse. Place beans in a pot with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 2-3 hours until done.

Combine beans (with cooking water) and rest of ingredients. Cook 6+ hours.

*I sometimes use a 3 lb roast instead of ground beef. Cook and chop roast, then add as above.
