Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 28- oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cayenne pepper optional

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Drain the excess grease and transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  3. Add the onion, green bell pepper, garlic, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne.
  4. Stir everything together.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours.
  6. For a thicker chili, remove the lid during the final 20–30 minutes of cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Notes

Use broth conservatively because slow cookers retain moisture and too much liquid can make the chili watery.
