  Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, then add the onions, bell pepper, and season with salt.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 mins.

Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin, stir to coat the vegetables, and cook until fragrant, about 1 min.

Add the ground beef and measured salt, cook, breaking the meat into small pieces until the beef is no longer pink, about 7 mins.

Pour the mixture into the slow cooker, and add the diced tomatoes plus their juices, tomato sauce, and beans, and stir it all together to combine.

Cover & cook until the chili thickens & the flavors meld, about 8H on low or 6H on high. Stir in the jalapeos or green chiles.

Serve with the cheese, scallions, & sour cream.
