Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1.5 pounds ground turkey or beef
1 large onion chopped
2 jalapeno peppers chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
1 spicy chili pepper chopped - I used a habanero, but add to your preference
4 cloves garlic chopped
2 cans kidney beans drained
3 cans fire roasted tomatoes 42 ounces, or use equivalent fresh
2 tablespoons ancho powder
2 tablespoons guajillo powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
FOR SERVING: Sliced roasted jalapenos, spicy chili flakes, hot sauce, fresh chopped parsley or cilantro

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large skillet and add the ground meat, onion and peppers. Cook them down about 10 minutes, or until the ground meat is cooked through and the vegetables are softened.
Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring.
Transfer the skillet contents to a crock pot, along with the remainder of the ingredients. Stir to combine.
Cook the chili in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours to let the flavors develop, stirring every now and then. Adjust for seasonings if you wish.
Serve in bowls with your favorite fixings.
