Description
A comforting, slow-cooked Crockpot Beef Chili filled with rich flavors and hearty ingredients, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the ground beef, cooking until browned, about 6-8 minutes, then drain excess fat.
- Once the meat is browned, add it to the crockpot along with the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, diced bell pepper, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
- Set the slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- When your chili is ready, stir it well before serving, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
Notes
For a spicier version, add jalapeños. To make it vegetarian, replace ground beef with lentils or a plant-based alternative.
