Preparation

Step 1

Brown the ground beef or turkey in large skillet with the onion, garlic, and green pepper over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked. Drain off any excess oil and put the mixture into your slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until mixed. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 4–5 hours.
