Homemade Chili

My boys and husband love this homemade beef chili recipe with beans that I make in the slow cooker. Add some corn chips or Cheddar cheese and it is always a winner.

Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef

  • 2 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato puree

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers

  • 2 tablespoons mild chili powder

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Transfer beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato puree, water, green chile peppers, chili powder, salt, cumin, and black pepper.

  3. Cook on Low until flavors combine, 4 to 6 hours.

Tips

I usually use a combination of beans like kidney and black or kidney and garbanzo. I usually use dried beans and cook them in my pressure cooker.

If you can't find puree, just use tomato paste and add water to it to get a puree consistency.
