  • 1 15-ounce can kidney beans drained and rinsed

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the beef for about 7 minutes or until it's brown.
  • Add the cooked beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, cumin, coriander, salt, and cayenne to the crockpot.
  • Stir everything until combined.

Cooking

  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more cayenne or diced jalapeƱos. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. Try adding extra vegetables like corn or zucchini for more nutrition. Letting the chili sit for a day will enhance the flavors even more.
