Ingredients

  • 1½-2 pounds sirloin steak or stew beef (cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 14.5 ounce can chili beans (do not drain)
  • 14.5 ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 14.5 ounce can beef broth or beef consommé
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut meat into cubes, chop onions, and mince garlic. (You can use minced garlic from a jar.)
  • Heat oil in a skillet/Dutch oven on the stovetop. Add meat and cook until brown.  Add onions and garlic and continue cooking until onions are tender.
  • Transfer meat, onions, and garlic from skillet to slow cooker.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours until meat is cooked through.

Notes

To store leftovers, allow the chili to cool, then place the leftover chili in an airtight container and store it in your refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Stovetop: You can make this meal in a 5-quart Dutch oven on the stovetop. Brown the meat, onions, and garlic in a Dutch oven. Add remaining ingredients, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.  Note: the beef will not be as tender as cooked for 4 to 6 hours in the crock pot.
