A comforting and easy-to-make chili recipe that is perfect for family dinners or gatherings, packed with hearty ingredients and robust flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned. Drain any excess fat and transfer the meat to the crockpot.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add them to the crockpot with the beef.
  3. Combine your ingredients: Add the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the crockpot.
  4. Mix it up: Stir everything together until well combined, making sure the spices are evenly distributed.
  5. Set to cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until all flavors meld and the chili is hot.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Once ready, give it a good stir before serving. Enjoy your chili hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use lean ground beef for a healthier option or substitute with ground turkey or a meat alternative. Feel free to add additional vegetables like corn or zucchini for extra nutrition and flavor.
