1/2 of ea. of the following: red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, chopped
4 cloves garlic
minced onion (red or purple, your choice)

1. brown beef in a skillet. drain.
2. in slow cooker, mix tomatoes, sauce, and seasoning
3. add beef and stir, set crock pot to 4 hours (high)
4. mince 4 cloves garlic, add to pot

serves approx. 4

Tips: Best served with bread on the side and cheddar cheese on top.

Substitutions: add a couple dashes of hot sauce to spice things up, or try adding green bell pepper if you prefer.

Note: you can add beans if you'd like, simply reduce the amount of peppers in the mix.

This stuff is perfect on a crisp fall evening!
