Retro Cooking Month - My favorite Recipe - Crockpot Chili

This is another cold weather favorite.  I found this one online originally, but I've tweaked it with my own additions.

You Will Need:

• 2 lbs lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• 1 Tbs chili powder
• garlic powder to taste
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste
•  1 Tbs Hot Sauce (you can leave this out if too much spice bothers you)
• 2 cans (approx. 16 oz each) crushed tomatoes
• 1 can (16 oz) tomato puree
• 1 can (16 oz) kidney beans
• 1 can (16 oz) black beans

To Make:

1.Brown ground beef in a large skillet.  Drain and place beef into crockpot.
2. In skillet, saute chopped onion and green pepper in olive oil (or the grease from the beef - I don't use it to make the recipe a little healthier).
3. Mix beef, onion and green pepper into the crockpot and add spices; let stand 1 hour on low heat.
4. Add tomatoes, tomato puree, beans.
5. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.
