Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds stew beef cut in 2-inch chunks (grass-fed recommended)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper or regular pepper (double this if you like it hot!)
- ½ onion diced
- 1 15-oz can kidney beans drained and rinsed (you could use black beans instead)
- 1 28-oz can diced tomatoes with juice
Optional Toppings
- shredded cheddar cheese grated
- sour cream
- avocado
- cilantro
- homemade cornbread
Instructions
- Put the stew beef chunks in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Top with onions, beans, and tomatoes.
- Turn the slow cooker onto high heat and cook for 5 to 6 hours. Shred beef with a fork before serving, if desired. Top with garnishes of choice and serve warm.
Notes
- You could substitute 1 pound ground beef for the stew meat, if you prefer a smoother chili, or even ground turkey if you like turkey chili!
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
