Ingredients
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground meat and diced onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
Stir in the garlic and bell pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika, stirring for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Transfer the meat mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and beans (if using). Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours. Do not lift the lid during cooking.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning. Add brown sugar or vinegar if needed to balance flavor. Serve hot with toppings like cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
