Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Slow-Cooked Beef Chili.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   Add the ground beef and cook it, stirring frequently, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

   To this, add kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped onions, green bell pepper, and minced garlic.

7. Step 7

   Now, cover your slow cooker and let it work its magic.
