Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 white onion
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 3 cans beans (I like navy, pinto, black, or kidney beans.)
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 2 4 oz. cans diced green chiles
  • 1 24 oz. can crushed tomatos (Can use diced tomatoes if you prefer.)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Optional Add-ins

  • carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini

Toppings

  • red onion
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Sautee onion.
  • In same pan, add ground beef and brown.
  • Drain meat, then add meat and onions to crockpot.
  • Add beans, diced chiles, crushed tomato, beef broth, and remaining spices to crockpot.
  • Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
  • Optional: Add veggies (carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, or sweet potato) for an extra health boost.
  • Serve with red onion and sour cream.

Notes

Don't be tempted to skip the brown sugar. It evens out the acidity from the tomatoes. We serve with corn bread, but you can also serve over white rice for a more filling meal. Enjoy!
