Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based meat)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 1 cup beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until it’s browned throughout, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beef and onion mixture to the crockpot.
  4. Add the kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, green chilies, and beef broth to the crockpot. Stir well to combine.
  5. Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Mix to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally if possible.
  7. Taste your chili before serving. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve and enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Use fresh ingredients where possible for the best flavor. Adjust the heat level by modifying the cayenne pepper. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to three months.
