Ingredients
2 tbsp 2 olive oil
2 pounds 2 ground beef
1 1 onion, diced
1 15 oz can 1 diced tomatoes
1 15 oz can 1 tomato sauce
2 15 oz cans 2 beans, rinsed and drained
- Spices for Chili
2 tbsp 2 chili powder
1 tbsp 1 ground cumin
1 tbsp 1 sugar
2 tsp 2 salt
2 tsp 2 black pepper
Directions
- BROWN GROUND BEEF: First, brown the ground beef in hot oil in either the cooking appliance or a pan on the stovetop if your cooking appliance does not have a saute mode.
- SAUTE THE VEGETABLES: While the meat is browning, dice vegetables. Add to the meat and saute until fragrant and onions soften and become translucent.
- ADD EVERYTHING TO THE POT: Add all ingredients to the slow cooker pot or the instant pot.
- SLOW COOKER: Slow cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- INSTANT POT: Pressure cook on high for at least 30 minutes. Cooking on high longer will make the chili softer and flavors more developed.
