Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

- Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.

- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.

EASY & MILD CROCKPOT CHILI
Kid-Friendly Chili Recipe...no hunks of tomatos, onions, or peppers. Just a smooth belly-warming bowl of Chili. If you are looking for an "authentic" chili recipe then this is probably no the one for you. However, if you are looking for an easy recipe (that you probably have the ingrediants on hand) you can throw in the crockpot and that your picky eater will actually eat..look no further. This is my fav chili recipe that I modified from an old Eastern Star recipe book called Homespun Cooking. Posting it here for safe keeping. Serve with Corn Chips or Corn Bread for a satisfying, belly-warming meal. :)

Steps:
- Brown ground beef with onion powder & garlic.
- Place browned meat & the remaining ingredients (except beans) into the crockpot.
- Stir to ensure all ingredients are incorporated (mixed well).
- Cook on Low 6-10 Hours.
- Add Beans to the Chili 1/2-1 hour before the end of cooking (long enough to heat them through).
- Special Note: I have added the complete 6oz can of tomato paste (so as not to waste it) with no issues. You may want to add a bit more water if you do use the whole can. Also, I have used just kidney beans or just pintos or both (for a realy hearty chili). This is one of those recipes you can play around with and have little ill-effects.
- Also, I like to top ours with fresh grated cheddar cheese & a dollip of sour cream immediately before serving.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Beans: Select high-quality beans like kidney beans, pinto beans, or black beans. Soaking them overnight in water helps reduce cooking time and aids digestion.
- Seasoning to Perfection: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic chili flavor. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred heat level.
- Tender Meat: For a tender and flavorful beef chili, brown the ground beef in a skillet before adding it to the crock pot. This step enhances the meat's flavor and gives it a nice texture.
- Veggie-Packed Chili: Add a variety of chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and corn to increase the nutritional value and add a colorful touch to your chili.
- Canned or Fresh Tomatoes: Both options work well in crock pot chili. Canned tomatoes provide a quick and convenient way to add tomato flavor, while fresh tomatoes offer a more vibrant taste.
- Spice It Up: If you prefer a spicy chili, add a diced jalapeño pepper or a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. You can also serve the chili with additional hot sauce on the side.
- Garnish and Serve: Enhance the presentation of your chili by garnishing it with chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded cheese, or diced avocado. Serve it with crusty bread, crackers, or cornbread for a complete meal.

With its rich flavor, versatility, and ease of preparation, this mild crock pot chili is a delightful dish that caters to various dietary preferences.
