Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef with chopped onions and minced garlic. Season with 1 tsp seasoned salt and 1 tsp pepper. Drain if excessively greasy.
  2. Put cooked ground beef, onion, and garlic in Crock Pot and stir in all of the spices.
  3. Add in the can of tomatoes (undrained), beans (rinsed and drained), and water. Stir and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3 hours. You can cook for longer or shorter at this point if needed since everything is cooked. Time just equals flavor.
  4. Eat it as is, or if you want it thicker, stir together the 1 Tbsp of cornstarch with 1 Tbsp of water and add to the chili. Let simmer in the Crock Pot for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Recipe Notes

I use this chili in the thickened state as a topping!

If I’m eating it as a chili, I prefer to top it with cheddar cheese and sour cream.

You can use any type of beans you want, but I would recommend either black beans or kidney beans so they hold together during the long cooking time.
