Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 large onions, chopped (2 cups)
  • 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) seasoned tomato sauce for chili
  • 2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) kidney beans, undrained
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) spicy chili beans
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps

  • 1
    Cook beef and onions in 12-inch skillet or 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.
  • 2
    Mix beef mixture and remaining ingredients in 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

    Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until chili is hot and bubbly. Chili will hold on low heat setting up to 2 hours.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Always brown ground beef just before adding it to the slow cooker. Starting with hot meat helps the mixture reach a safe internal temperature more quickly. By browning the beef first, you also eliminate the extra fat and liquid that would accumulate during cooking.
  • tip 2
    If you like your chili hot and spicy, use a pound of ground beef and a pound of hot and spicy bulk pork or Italian beef sausage instead of all beef. Cook and drain the two together before adding to the cooker.
