SALSA BEEF CHILI (CROCK POT)



Salsa Beef Chili (Crock Pot) image

I believe this to be the tastiest, easiest, quickest-to-prepare chili there is!! For years I've played with chili recipies, trying to find or create the perfect one -- and now I've found it. I often do half ground pork and half ground venison instead of beef and I always use frozen corn -- either bought or home grown.

Categories     Soup

Time 6h25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large yellow onion, (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic, (finely minced)
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies*
3 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 oz) can dark red kidney beans, (drained and rinsed)
1 (15 oz) can light red kidney beans, ( drained and rinsed)
Shredded cheddar cheese, (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).
  • Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.
  • Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.
  • Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.
  • Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for chili because they have a lot of connective tissue that breaks down and tenderizes during the cooking process.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the crock pot: This will help to develop the flavor of the chili and prevent it from being bland.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different beans have different flavors and textures, so using a variety will give your chili more depth of flavor and interest.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Chili is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. Try adding different spices like cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a chili that is unique and flavorful.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, diced onions, and cilantro are all popular toppings for chili.

Conclusion:

Salsa beef chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a few simple tips, you can make a salsa beef chili that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
