This easy slow cooker beef chili is the perfect pantry meal! Loaded with beans, corn, and salsa tomatoes, it only takes a few minutes to dump in your Crock Pot!
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion, bell peppers, chilies, and garlic in the olive oil until translucent and fragrant.
Add in the ground beef, salt, pepper, cayenne, chili powder, and cumin and continue to cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (just a few minutes). You can drain out the excess fat if desired, then add to your slow cooker.
Add in the canned tomatoes, beans, and corn and stir until combined.
If needed, add just enough water to barely cover top of the ingredients in the slow cooker (add more liquid if you want a more soupy chili).
Stir in the lime juice and hot sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
