Instructions
- Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook it well and drain the fat that comes out—it makes your chili less oily.
- Dump the cooked beef into your crock pot. Add diced onions, minced garlic, canned diced tomatoes, and kidney beans next.
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together good so the spices mix real well.
- Put the lid on your crock pot, and set it to cook low for 4 to 6 hours or on high if you’re short on time (2 to 3 hours works too).
- Once it’s ready, open the lid and serve hot with your preferred toppings like cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions.
Notes
Optional toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions. You can also prepare the ground beef a day ahead and refrigerate it to save time.
