Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Can opener

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 1 Large Green Bell Pepper
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • 2 Cans Kidney Beans
  • 2 Cans Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 Can Tomato Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 Tsp Cumin
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Brown your ground beef in a large skillet first. Cook it over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain all the excess fat from the pan carefully.
  • Add the chopped onions and peppers to the meat. Sauté them for five minutes until they are soft. Stir in the garlic for one minute at the end.
  • Transfer the meat and vegetable mixture to the cooker. Pour in the beans, tomatoes, and all the sauces. Stir everything together until it is well combined.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper now. Make sure the spices are spread throughout the pot. Put the lid on the slow cooker tightly.
  • Set the cooker to low for six hours. You can also use high heat for three hours. Let the flavors blend together slowly over time.

Notes

  • Always brown your meat before adding it to the pot.
  • Drain the beans well to keep the chili very thick.
  • Taste your chili before serving to check the salt levels.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best and strongest flavor profile.
  • Add a pinch of sugar to balance the tomato acidity.
