Ingredients You'll Need
1. Ground Beef
The star of this recipe is, of course, the ground beef. It adds a rich and meaty flavor to the chili and is a great source of protein. When choosing your ground beef, opt for lean or extra lean to make this dish a bit healthier. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
2. Beans
No chili recipe is complete without beans. For this recipe, I recommend using a combination of black beans and kidney beans. They add a great texture and heartiness to the dish. You can use canned beans or cook them from scratch, whichever works best for you.
3. Veggies
To give this chili some extra nutrition and flavor, we'll be using vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and corn. You can also add in any other veggies you have on hand, like carrots or zucchini. This is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients for picky eaters.
4. Spices
The key to making this chili burst with flavor is the spices. We'll be using a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano to give it that classic Mexican taste. Adjust the amount of spices to your liking, and don't be afraid to add in some extra heat with some red pepper flakes.
5. Broth
To give the chili a base to cook in, we'll be using broth. You can use chicken or beef broth, or even water. If you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can use vegetable broth instead.
6. Toppings
The toppings are what make this chili truly customizable. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro. Choose your favorite toppings to make this dish your own.
Instructions
1. Brown the Ground Beef
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
2. Add the Veggies and Spices
To the slow cooker, add in the chopped onions, bell peppers, and corn. Then sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Stir everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
3. Pour in the Broth
Next, pour in the broth over the beef and veggie mixture in the slow cooker. Give it a good stir.
4. Add the Beans
Drain and rinse the black beans and kidney beans and add them to the slow cooker. Stir everything together.
5. Cook on Low
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer it cooks, the more the flavors will develop.
