Ingredients
  

For the Chili
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Consider using lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 1 large Onion (chopped) A yellow onion works best.
  • 30 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes Crushed tomatoes can be swapped for a smoother texture.
  • 15 ounces Canned Black Beans Drained and rinsed.
  • 15 ounces Canned Pinto Beans Drained and rinsed.
  • 8 ounces Canned Chopped Green Chiles Replace with jalapeños for more spice.
  • 2 cups Corn (canned or frozen) Frozen corn works wonderfully if you don’t have canned.
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Adjust according to your spice preference.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • 3-quart slow cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Taco Chili
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is translucent.
  2. Transfer the browned beef and onion mixture into a 3-quart slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans, chopped green chiles, and corn. Sprinkle in your taco seasoning, stirring until well combined.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally during the last half of the cooking time.
  4. Check the chili's consistency towards the end of cooking. For a thicker chili, let it cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  5. Once complete, stir the chili, taste for seasoning, and serve in bowls, garnishing with toppings like shredded cheese or fresh jalapeños.
