Ingredients: MMD 80% Lean 20% Fat Ground Beef Patties; Vidalia Brands Sweet Onion Petals, Sour Cream and Onion Flavor; Hot House Red Bell Peppers; Napoleon Co. Grille Garlic Cloves; David's Kosher Salt; Morton & Bassett Black Pepper, 100% Organic, Fine Ground; O Organics Red Kidney Beans, No Salt Added; Bush's Best Black Beans; SIGNATURE SELECTS Tomatoes, Petite Diced; Hunt's Tomato Sauce; SIGNATURE SELECTS Diced Tomatoes, Original; Morton & Bassett Spices Cumin, Organic, Ground; SIGNATURE SELECTS Chili Powder; McCormick® Smoked Paprika & Onion Seasoning; McCormick Gourmet™ Organic Turkish Bay Leaves; Daisy Light Sour Cream

To a large Dutch oven, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat to brown, crumbling it with a spatula as it cooks and tossing it to ensure even cooking. Cook through, about 5 minutes or as necessary. Drain fat if necessary.

Add the onions, red pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables have softened, stir intermittently.

Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and cook for about 1 minute, stir intermittently.

Line a 6-quart slow cooker with a Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner and transfer the beef mixture into it.

Add the beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, rinse can out with 8 ounces water and add the water, green chilis, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and bay leaves.

Cover, and cook on high for about 2 to 3 hours or on low for about 4 to 5 hours. All slow cookers vary in their heat intensity. Cook until chili has thickened some. Stir, taste, and add more salt, pepper, or seasonings to taste. Remove bay leaves.

Ladle into bowls and optionally garnish with sour cream, green onions, shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips or crackers.
