Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the browned beef. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture to the crock pot.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir everything well to combine.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours.

Step 6

Once the chili is cooked, taste and adjust seasonings as needed with more salt, pepper, or chili powder.

Step 7

Serve hot in bowls, and if desired, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions.

Step 8

Enjoy your Crock Pot Colts Fan Chili and cheer on your team!
