Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef browned
- ½ onion diced and sautéed
- 1 can black beans do not drain
- 1 can chili beans do not drain
- 42 oz can of diced tomatoes or three 14oz cans
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 1 can of tomato paste
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 T cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Meat
- Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. While the hamburger is browning, sauté the diced onion in a separate skillet or the same one once the hamburger is cooked. Cook the onion until it becomes translucent and soft.
Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot
- In your crockpot, add the cooked hamburger and sautéed onion.
- Then, pour in the can of black beans and chili beans (undrained), diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste.
Add Spices
- Next, add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried mustard, and a bit more salt and pepper. Stir everything together to combine well.
Cook in the Crockpot
- Set your crockpot to low and let the chili cook for 6-8 hours. If you’re short on time, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours.
- The longer it cooks, the more the flavors meld together, giving it that deep, rich chili taste.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve it up with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or diced green onions.
