Ground beef, onion, minced garlic, beef stock, kidney beans, black beans crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, packaged taco mix or you can use my taco seasoning mix which is what I use.  Here is the link for the taco seasoning ( https://mariasmixingbowl.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/)

Easy Slow Cooker Chili starts out by sauteing onion. Then when they are almost done I add the garlic. Then I  cook the ground beef until it is almost cocked. Then you place them both in your slow cooker.

I find sauteed onions add better flavor than raw onions to this Easy Slow Cooker Chili.  Then We add  all the rest of the ingredients.

By the time everything is added the slow cooker is full to the top!! But that’s ok Easy Slow Cooker Chili is a favorite and always taste better a day or two later!

Easy Slow Cooker Chili  is seriously delicious comfort food!! 

 Easy Slow Cooker Chili will make your house smell amazing!

Set the slow cooker for 5-6 hours.   I give it a stir every hour or so and yes of course a taste too. You may want to add a bit more cayenne pepper to adjust the heat for your taste.
