Instructions
- Begin by browning the ground beef with the diced onions and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is well-cooked and the onions are translucent, drain any excess fat.
- Transfer the beef mixture into your slow cooker.

- Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 360 minutes or on HIGH for 240 minutes, depending on your schedule.
- If you find the chili to be too thick, you can adjust the consistency with a little extra broth or water before serving.
- Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.
Notes
Brown the beef for added flavor and adjust seasoning before serving. Don’t hesitate to sneak in extra veggies for nutrition.
