Turn on the slow cooker to preheat while preparing ingredients.
Add the kidney beans, drained, diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic sauce, and minced garlic to a 2-quart slow cooker.
In a medium-sized skillet heat the olive oil and saute the green pepper and onion for 2-3 minutes and then add them to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet brown the ground beef, drain off the excess grease and add the browned beef to the slow cooker. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on a low setting for 5-6 hours.
Notes
This chili is spicy and you can feel the heat. If you think it might be a little too spicy then reduce the chili powder and chili sauce. If you want your Chili to ignite a fire in your mouth then add a few red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne.
You can substitute ground turkey with great results.
Sometimes I substitute spicy Chili beans or black beans for a little variety.
