Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 Reynolds KITCHENS® Slow Cooker Liner

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 2 medium green bell peppers, chopped

  • 2 small onions, chopped

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, undrained

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce

  • 2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes and green chiles

  • 2 (1.25 ounce) packages chili seasoning mix

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • ½ cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Line a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds Kitchen Slow Cooker Liner. Fit liner snugly against the bottom and sides of the bowl; pull top of liner over the rim. Set aside.

  2. Cook and stir ground beef, bell peppers, and onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain grease.

  3. Spoon beef mixture into the lined slow cooker. Add beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and green chiles, and seasoning mix to beef mixture; stir gently with a wooden or plastic spoon.

  4. Cover and cook until hot and bubbly throughout, Low for 6 to 7 hours or High for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

  5. Carefully remove the lid to allow steam to escape. Stir gently, then top with cheese and dollops of sour cream. Serve chili directly from the slow cooker liner.

Recipe Tips

If using a 3- to 8-quart round or oval slow cooker, use the regular-size Reynolds Kitchen Slow Cooker Liner and make the recipe as-is. If using a 1- to 3-quart round or oval slow cooker, use the small-size Reynolds Kitchen Slow Cooker Liner and halve the recipe.

Do not lift or transport the liner with food inside. Remove all food from the liner and cool the slow cooker completely before removing the liner from the slow cooker.
