Scrumptious Slow Cooker Chili
Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life
One of my favorite chili recipes. Using london broil kicks up the texture and flavor a bit from your average chili recipe. The whole thing is a winner!
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 8 hours hrs
Total Time 8 hours hrs 10 minutes mins
Course beef, crockpot, Dinner
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1 lb. London Broil or top round steak trimmed of fat and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2-3 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp all-purpose barbecue spice rub*
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 can 14 1/2 oz Zesty Style diced tomatoes (regular would be fine too), with liquid
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup light or nonalcoholic beer or water (but what fun is that? hehe)
- *If you don’t have an all-purpose spice rub I’m sure a Montreal Steak seasoning, or something of that nature would work. Or, just nix it all together.
Directions:
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the beef, onion, garlic, and pepper and cook until browned, stirring occasionally (about 8 minutes).
Spoon the beef mixture into the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover the slow cooker and cook, on low, for 8-10 hrs.
Serve sprinkled with grated cheese and/or sour cream, if desired. Or toss it in a bread bowl if you’re in need of a little carb overload.
ENJOY! :-P
