Description

Hearty Slow Cooker All Meat Chili (No Beans) is a rich, savory chili made with a blend of ground beef, Italian sausage, and a medley of spices, simmered slowly in the slow cooker for a thick and flavorful dish. This chili is perfect for those who prefer a meat-only version without beans.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground Italian sausage
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 10 oz. cans diced tomatoes and green chilis (Rotel)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons chipotles in adobo, minced
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Tortilla chips or Fritos
  • Shredded cheese
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and ground Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking the meat apart as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.
  2. Transfer the cooked meat to the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, diced tomatoes with green chilis, and beef broth.
  3. Stir in the oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and minced chipotles in adobo. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cornmeal to thicken the chili. Let it cook for the remaining time until thickened and flavorful.
  6. Serve hot with optional toppings such as tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sliced green onions, and sour cream.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier chili, you can increase the amount of chipotles in adobo or add extra chili powder.
  • The cornmeal helps to thicken the chili and gives it a nice texture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can omit it.
  • Store any leftover chili in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
