Crockpot Beef Chili

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 can 15 ounces kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can 10 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine ingredients: Transfer the beef, kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to a slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • Cook: Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded.
  • Serve: Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, or avocado.
  • Optional additions: For a spicier chili, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of hot sauce. For a thicker chili, add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water to the slow cooker.
