Slow Cooker Chili Recipe with Ground Beef for 8 Servings

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 900g of ground beef and cook until no longer pink and slightly crispy on the edges. Note: This creates the flavor foundation.
2. Drain the fat. Remove the skillet from the heat and drain the excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Note: You need that tiny bit of fat to toast your spices.
3. Bloom the spices. Add the 3 tbsp chili powder, 1 tbsp cumin, and 1 tbsp smoked paprika to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 60 seconds until the aroma fills your kitchen.
4. Prep the slow cooker. Transfer the spiced beef mixture into your 6 quart slow cooker.
5. Add the aromatics. Toss in the diced yellow onion, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and the minced jalapeños.
6. Pour in liquids. Add the 800g of crushed fire roasted tomatoes and the 240ml of beef bone broth.
7. Incorporate beans and sweets. Add the rinsed kidney beans, black beans, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cocoa powder.
8. Stir well. Mix everything until the beef is evenly distributed through the tomatoes.
9. Set the timer. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours (480 minutes) until the sauce is thick and glossy.
10. Final check. Give it one last stir and taste for seasoning. If the flavors feel flat, a tiny pinch more salt or a squeeze of lime can brighten everything up.
