Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 large sweet onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

1

In a large skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain.
2

Transfer beef mixture to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Drain 1 can tomatoes, discarding liquid; add to slow cooker. Stir in beans, chili powder, cumin, salt and remaining tomatoes. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours to allow flavors to blend. Mash beans to desired consistency.
3

Just before serving, cut open tortilla chip bags. Divide chili among bags; add toppings as desired.
4

Freeze cooled chili in a freezer container. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
