How to make chipotle beef & bean chili

Place 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 minced garlic clove into a large skillet and brown the garlic.

Once the garlic is browned, about 1-2 minutes, add the stew meat and brown for about 2-3 minutes.

Next add the green peppers and onions and cook until meat is no longer pink on the outside and onion is softened. I cook it for about another 2-3 minutes.

Before placing meat mix into the crockpot drain it in a drainer to remove any fat that was produced from cooking it. After you have done this place the meat mix into the crockpot and stir it.

Next add the diced tomatoes and stir.

Next add the drained kidney beans and stir. If you are concerned about sodium and can’t find low sodium canned kidney beans after draining them rinse them.

Finally add the remaining minced garlic, chili powder and ground chipotle chili pepper and stir really well.

Cook in crockpot on high for 3 hours or until meat is cooked. I serve it with gluten-free cornbread and shredded cheese.
