Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (chopped fine)
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 15oz can black beans, rinsed
  • 1/2 15oz can pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1/2 15oz can kidney beans, rinsed
  • 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • Sour cream,shredded cheese and green onions for garnish

Instruction

  • Combine ground beef, onions, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine. Microwave on high until beef is no longer pink, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Place beef in a 4-6 quart slow cooker and add beans, tomatoes, broth, barbecue sauce if using and brown sugar. (We like our chili with a sweeter barbecue flavor, but if you prefer a traditional chili you can leave it out, or add it in later)
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Skim any excess fat from surface with a large spoon and season to taste before serving.
