  1. In the slow cooker, stir together the beef, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Cook, covered, on low for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 5 to 5 1/2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Roll up jelly-roll style or eat using a knife and fork.
