  3. Spoon beef mixture into the lined slow cooker. Add beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and green chiles, and seasoning mix to beef mixture; stir gently with a wooden or plastic spoon.

  4. Cover and cook until hot and bubbly throughout, Low for 6 to 7 hours or High for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.

Tips

If using a 3- to 8-quart round or oval slow cooker, use the regular size Reynolds Kitchen Slow Cooker Liner and make the recipe as-is. If using a 1- to 3-quart round or oval slow cooker, use the small size Reynolds Kitchen Slow Cooker Liner and halve the recipe.

Do not lift or transport liner with food inside. Remove all food from the liner and cool the slow cooker completely before removing the liner from the slow cooker.
