Crock Pot No Bean Chili

It is a rainy, cold day out and nothing is better on those type days than some chili. Problem is I don't care for beans so I rarely make chili.

However, just note while making this you can add 1-2 cans of the beans of your liking and continue the recipe the same way as I have laid out for those that like beans.

First, I diced a shoulder steak until small chunks and grilled on a pan until cooked. I added a little chili powder to it. I then added it to the crock pot. Next, I grounded hamburger meat in the same pan. I also added chili powder to it and then added this to the crock pot.

I used my hand chopped and diced up 1 yellow onion, 1 bell pepper and half a small jar of pickled jalapenos. I would have preferred 2 fresh jalapenos, but I didn't have any. However, you really can't tell a difference in the a taste. I poured these into the crock pot. I added 2 cans of zesty tomatoes and a can of green chilis.

Last, I added a can of beer. Any kind will do, but I used rolling rock because that is what I had in my fridge. I also added a small  jar of marinara. I then added 2 tablespoons of chili powder and 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper to the top. I let it cook on high for 4 hours.

Serve with cornbread or some crackers. It was amazing and I plan to eat on this for days.
