  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the ground beef or turkey.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add the browned meat, sautéed onions, garlic, kidney beans, black beans, crushed tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika to the slow cooker. Stir well to combine.
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper into the mixture according to your taste.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  6. If you can, give it a stir halfway through cooking.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, taste your chili and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Once the cooking time is up, serve the chili hot in bowls, topped with cheese, sour cream, or green onions.

Notes

Letting the chili sit for a few hours or overnight in the fridge makes it taste even better.
