I made this for dinner yesterday, and it was SO good. It's pretty mild, but it's so savory and flavorful. My son is a very picky eater, and he told me this was something he'd be excited if I told him I was making it for dinner again.

Ingredients:
• 1 pound 96/4 ground beef
• 2 yellow onions
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 yellow bell pepper, deseeded
• 1 jalapeño pepper, deseeded
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 2 14-1/2 oz cans petite diced tomatoes
• 2 15 oz cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 cups water
• 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled
• 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Cook ground beef in a large nonstick over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Drain off any fat.

Use food processor to chop onions, celery, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Add those and minced garlic to the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened — about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beans, water, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chili is thickened — about 45 minutes. (8 servings)

    I did it by weight. The whole batch weighed 2,529 grams, so a serving was 316 grams. I think it was about 2/3 of a cup, but the calories and fat are so low, you could eat a couple of servings guilt-free!

    I made this for dinner tonight in a slow cooker. Tweaked it a little, left out a few spices and it freaking ROCKED! Thanks for the recipe!

    How did you do it in the slow cooker? Cook the meat on the stove and rather then simmer on the stove you put it in the slow cooker?

    Does anyone know about the calorie/nutrition differences if I were to use other bean varieties instead of black? I'm not a big fan of black beans. Everything else sounds awesome!
