Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound ground beef or other ground meat
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped or 1 tablespoon dry chopped onions
- 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 15.5 ounces canned dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup water (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground meat. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes, then add the chopped onion. When the meat is nearly browned, after approximately 4 to 5 minutes from start, add the minced garlic. Continue cooking until the meat is fully browned. Drain any fat and transfer the meat mixture to a small crock pot.
