Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Beef Chili.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once it's hot, add the ground beef and cook it, stirring frequently, until it’s browned and crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish nice and lean.
Step 4
Next, transfer the perfectly cooked beef into your slow cooker.
Step 5
Now it’s time to add some delicious ingredients: toss in the rinsed kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce.
Step 6
For a pop of color and flavor, add the chopped green bell pepper, along with the dehydrated onion flakes, chili powder, and ground cumin.
Step 7
Give everything a good stir to ensure all those wonderful flavors are well combined.
Step 8
Once you’ve mixed it all together, cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on Low.
Step 9
Let it work its magic for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours if you want the flavors to meld even more beautifully.
