For a richer flavor, consider searing the ground beef in batches to develop a nice crust before adding it to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a spicier chili, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some finely chopped jalapeño. Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, such as black beans or pinto beans. If you don't have fresh garlic, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder can be used as a substitute. This chili is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld together overnight.

Feb 15, 2025I love the tip about searing the beef first. It really adds a depth of flavor that you don't get otherwise.
