Slow-Cooked Chili

2 lbs. extra-lean groud beef
2 16-oz. cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 14 1/2-oz. cans low-sodium diced tomatoes, undrained
1 8-oz. can low-sodium tomato sauce
2 medium-sized onions, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt, optional
1 tsp. black pepper
Shredde low-fat cheddar cheese, optional

1.  Brown beef in non-stick skillet (or microwave strainer) and drain.
2.  Place in slow-cooker.
3.  Add all other ingredients, except cheese.
4.  Cover.  Cook on high 4 hours or on low 8 to 10 hours.
5.  Garnish individual servings with cheese if desired.

*Not a very spicy chili, but that's easily fixed with some Frank's Red Hot!
