Tips:

- To make your chili even more flavorful, brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to caramelize the beef and onions, giving them a richer flavor. - If you want a thicker chili, add a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of equal parts cornstarch and water) to the chili in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Stir until the chili has reached your desired consistency. - For a spicier chili, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. You can also add a diced jalapeño pepper for an extra kick. - To make your chili more hearty, add a can of black beans or kidney beans. You can also add a cup of corn or diced tomatoes. - Serve your chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro.
