Brown the beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, 10-12 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it goes. Drain off the excess fat. (Use 90% lean to keep it light, or 80/20 if you want more flavor.)

Load the slow cooker
Transfer the browned beef to a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the rinsed and drained kidney beans, the diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato sauce, chopped onions, chopped green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Stir in the chili powder, salt, and pepper until everything is combined.

Slow cook low and slow
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the vegetables are soft, the chili has thickened, and the flavors have melded together. Give it a stir before serving.

Serve it up
Ladle into bowls and finish with shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and a scatter of sliced green onions if you like. Red onion and pickled jalapenos are great on top too.
