Creating your Slow Cooker Beef Chili is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer it to the slow cooker.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped peppers for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Add to Slow Cooker: Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker with the browned beef.
4. Combine Full Ingredients: Add the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and beef broth to the slow cooker.
5. Mix Well: Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly.
6. Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and set your slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
7. Check Consistency: Before serving, check the chili’s consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more of beef broth or water.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the chili and adjust seasoning as necessary.
9. Serve: Once it’s ready, ladle the chili into bowls and serve hot.
