1 Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner
1 pound lean ground beef
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 cans (15 oz. each) dark red kidney beans, drained
3 cans (14.5 oz. each) southwestern-style diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon each ground cumin and dried basil
1 teaspoon each salt and granulated beef bouillon
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

OPEN slow cooker liner and place it in a 5- to 6 ½ -qt slow cooker bowl. Fit liner snugly against the bottom and sides of the bowl; pull top of liner over rim of bowl. COOK ground beef, celery, and bell pepper in large skillet over medium-high heat until meat is evenly browned; drain off grease. PLACE cooked beef mixture and remaining ingredients in lined-slow cooker. Place lid on slow cooker. COOK on LOW for 6 to 7 hours OR on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until chili is hot and bubbling. CAREFULLY remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve food directly from slow cooker. Do not lift or transport liner with food inside. Cool slow cooker completely; remove liner and toss.
