Slow Cooker Chili

* 2 pounds coarsely ground beef round or chuck (I used 1 lb extra lean ground beef and 1 lb ground turkey)
* 1 cup chopped onion
* 2 (15 oz.) cans red kidney beans, drained
* 2 (14 1/2 oz.) cans tomatoes, drained (one of the cans had chopped jalapenos, on the recommendation of one of the people who reviewed this recipe online)
* 1 green pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped (I used frozen prechopped to save time; same with onion)
* 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
* 2 to 3 tbsp. chili powder
* 1 tsp. black pepper
* 1 tsp. ground cumin
* salt, to taste

Preparation:
In a large skillet, brown ground beef with the chopped onion. Put the ground beef, onions, and other ingredients in a 3 1/2 to 5-quart slow cooker. Stir well. Cover and cook on low for 9 to 11 hours. Serves 8.
