Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up, until no pink remains, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt and cook until softened, 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until thickened. Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

This chili tastes even better the next day, so do not hesitate to make it ahead. If you prefer a thicker chili, leave the lid slightly ajar for the last 30 minutes of cooking on high. For gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce.
