Step 1

In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Transfer the onion and garlic to the crock pot.

Step 3

To the crock pot, add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with green chilies, kidney beans, pinto beans, and beef broth.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours.

Step 6

Once the chili is cooked, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or green onions.
