Crockpot Beef Chili
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil1 large onion, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced2 pounds lean ground beef2 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped1 tablespoon chili powder1 tablespoon smoked paprika2 teaspoons ground cumin1 teaspoon ground cinnamon2 teaspoons salt1/2 teaspoon cayenne (optional)2 cups beef broth1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes1 (8-ounce) can tomato paste2 tablespoons maple syrup2 bay leaves2 cans chili beans (I use Mrs Grimes)
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and cook about 5 minutes or until it begins to caramelize around the edges. Stir the garlic and cook another minute. Use your hands to crumble the ground beef into the pot. Brown the beef, breaking up the meat as you go, about 8 minutes. Once the beef is browned, drain all fat, then add in the poblano pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt and cayenne, if using. Give it a good stir and let cook about a minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the beef mixture to the bowl of your crockpot. Add 2 cups broth, the tomatoes, tomato paste, maple, and bay leaves, stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. One hour before serving, add 2 cans chili beans. If your chili is too thick, add more broth to thin.
Remove the bay leaves and ladle the chili into bowls.
