Instructions
-
This recipe is for use in your slow cooker. I like the versatility of the Instant Pot and Pampered Chef Quick Cooker. Set the pot to Sear or Sauté.
-
Add olive oil and heat for two minutes. Add onion. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
-
Add ground beef to the pot. Break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until the beef is browned, stirring occasionally.
-
Turn the cooker off. Add the chili powder, cumin, sugar, tomato paste, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. Stir until well combined.
-
Add the broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), drained beans and tomato sauce. Stir well.
-
Set your cooker to Slow Cook for 8 hours.
-
Let the chili rest for 5 minutes before serving. If you want a thicker chili, make a slurry of flour and water to add.
My focus is on providing healthy meals for busy families, using locally sourced ingredients that are seasonal and fresh.
