For a super simple and delicious meal, I usually turn to chili. By cooking it in the crockpot, dinner is waiting for you after a long day, and you will feel great about providing a healthy meal for your family!
I made this chili by cooking the ground beef and chopping all the vegetables on Sunday. This allowed me to then throw it together in the crockpot in the morning without having to do a whole lot of work.
Dan and I LOVE spicy food, so this chili definitely packs a punch! Feel free to tone down the spices, use less hot peppers, or remove the pepper seeds if you don’t want it as spicy, because even though the peppers mellow out from cooking all day, this is still one spicy chili!

- 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef, cooked and drained
