Slow-Cooker Chipotle Chili image

Chili recipes are as plentiful as chili cooks-and that's a good thing. For the most part. As with any recipe, too many ingredients (and especially too many "odd" ingredients) can turn a good, old-fashioned hearty dish into...well, something else. This recipe keeps it simple with typical ground beef, tomatoes, fresh vegetables, spices, and beans (sorry, Texas). For a little extra kick and smoky flavor, add chipotle chiles, then let everything come together low and slow in a slow-cooker.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground sirloin
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with juice
3 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
2 fresh cayenne peppers, finely chopped
1 small celery rib, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup tomato paste
chopped scallion, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sirloin, garlic, and onion. Cook until the beef is browned, 6-7 minutes.
