- Ready In:
- 6hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
8-12 Cups
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 garlic clove, minced (or 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons chili powder (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 3 cups water
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans or (15 ounce) can pinto beans
directions
- Brown ground beef with onion powder & garlic.
- Place browned meat & the remaining ingredients (except beans) into the crockpot.
- Stir to ensure all ingredients are incorporated (mixed well).
- Cook on Low 6-10 Hours.
- Add Beans to the Chili 1/2-1 hour before the end of cooking (long enough to heat them through).
- Special Note: I have added the complete 6oz can of tomato paste (so as not to waste it) with no issues. You may want to add a bit more water if you do use the whole can. Also, I have used just kidney beans or just pintos or both (for a realy hearty chili). This is one of those recipes you can play around with and have little ill-effects.
- Also, I like to top ours with fresh grated cheddar cheese & a dollip of sour cream immediately before serving.

Hi I used this recipe in a chili cook off. Instead of three cups of water I substituted water for 2 cups of tomato juice and one cup water. I sautéd onions, red, yellow, orange peppers and added them to the hamburger after I drained it. Also addded Heinz chili sauce . I am happy to say the first time I ever entered a chili cook off and I won with this Chili. Thank you for sharing.

I love that the ingredients are those that I have on hand. I don't have to chop or dice one thing! I make a batch of this and store it in one cup containers in the freezer for quick microwavable meals. Sometimes, instead of the paste, I use 8 oz. tomato sauce with 2 cups of water and a couple squirts of ketchup. I, also, cut back on the chili powder. Thanks for sharing this easy and quick recipe.
