  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeños. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  4. Combine in Crockpot: Add the browned beef and sautéed vegetables to the crockpot and stir gently.
  5. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste, followed by the drained beans and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in the remaining spices.
