Instructions
Preparation

Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.

For extra flavor, sauté onions and garlic with the ground beef. Use spicier Rotel tomatoes or add jalapeños for more heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
