Ingredients
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
Canned Goods
- 1 can kidney beans (about 15 oz)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (about 14.5 oz)
Spices and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Meat and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the beef is browned and onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Transfer the browned beef and onion mixture into the crockpot. Add the kidney beans, diced tomatoes, chili powder, and salt.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken.
- Serve: After cooking, stir the chili, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot with cornbread on the side.
Notes
- Browning the beef first enhances the flavor and improves the texture of the chili.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Adjust chili powder to your heat preference, adding cayenne or hot sauce for extra spice.
- For more thickness, you can mash some beans before adding to the crockpot.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3-4 days and also freeze well.
