Description
A hearty and flavorful slow cooker chili made with ground beef, kidney beans, and a blend of spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 28 ounces diced tomatoes
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1” pieces, about 3 cups)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 30 ounces kidney beans (2 cans drained or 3 cups cooked beans)
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- If using dry beans, soak 1 cup kidney beans overnight. Then rinse and cook covered in water until softened (about 45 minutes).
- Roast the corn until most pieces have a dark/charred corner, either in your slow cooker on the browning function or on the stove top. A dry pan or pot works best. Set aside the corn and brown the meat (in slow cooker or on stove top).
- Combine all ingredients in the base of your slow cooker and stir to mix well.
- Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Stir well after cooking. Serve with your preferred chili toppings like sour cream, avocado, cilantro, green onion, shredded cheese, etc.
Notes
- Instead of individual spices, use about 2-2 tablespoons of homemade chili seasoning mix.
