How to Make Betty Crocker S Family Favorite Chili

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a 3.5-6 quart slow cooker, combine the browned beef with 1 large onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can of tomato paste, 1 (15 ounce) can of kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15 ounce) can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed), 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the onion is tender.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup of beef broth or water for desired consistency, if needed.
  5. Serve hot, topped with your favorite chili toppings such as Fritos, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
