Slow Cooker Chili

This is by far my favorite chili recipe. It's simple, meaty, and flavorful, but not spicy. I've made it with both ground beef and ground turkey and it's great either way. We often eat our chili over spaghetti noodles and topped with shredded cheddar cheese and Fritos. So good!

2 lbs lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Cook beef in skillet over medium heat until browned; drain. Mix beef and remaining ingredients, except beans, in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or until onion is tender. Stir in beans. Cover and cook 30 additional minutes or until beans are heated through.
