    Transfer beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato puree, water, green chile peppers, chili powder, salt, cumin, and black pepper.

  • Step 3

    Cook on Low until flavors combine, 4 to 6 hours.

    • Cook's Notes:

    I usually use a combination of beans like kidney and black or kidney and garbanzo. I usually use dried beans and cook them in my pressure cooker.

    If you can’t find puree, just use tomato paste and add water to it to get a puree consistency.
