I like all types of chili but this Texas style with no beans is up there in my favorites. My 15 year old slow cooker finally gave up on me so when I was shopping for a new one I was beyond excited to find this one Hamilton Beach 33265 6-Quart Programmable Cool-Surround Slow Cooker

Crockpot Texas Chili
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast cut to 2 inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 4.5 oz cans chopped green chilies drained
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 14 oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- scallions for serving
- sour cream for serving
- cilantro for serving
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Toss the beef with the sugar and salt. Add the oil to a large skillet or your slow cooker if you can and brown the beef over high heat until the meat is brown on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Do not move it around to much, just let it sit on the heat until it gets brown then turn and repeat. Once the meat is browned transfer it to the slow cooker*. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cook 2-3 minutes to soften, Add the garlic, chilies, cumin, chili powder, and hot sauce. Cook this all for 3 more minutes.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water and the tomatoes to the mix and bring to a simmer getting all the good brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Transfer this to the slow cooker as well and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours.
- Top with the scallions, sour cream, and cilantro and enjoy!
This looks seriously good! I love beanless chili. Sounds like you made a great purchase. I have a crockpot but don’t use it much. Think it’s time to use it more often.
Wow, this looks so good. I love that you can brown in this new crockpot. That has always been my problem with them, no browning. What a delicious looking chili!
Oh man! There is NOTHING like a crock pot full of chili to make me happy! Especially on a cool fall day. My boyfriend doesn’t like beef, do you think I could sub pork shoulder for the beef?
I think that is a great idea, pork and green chilis go together very well! Let me know how it turns out.
I love recipes using the slow cooker…YEASSSS!!! Anything making dinner time easier for me is a good thing 🙂 I also really love that you use chuck roast for your recipe, I am so used to using ground beef so this really steps it up! Yummy
What a lovely looking meal this is! Crockpots are great, I remember how excited I was with the outcome the first time I tried it. This meal looks so flavorful and delicious!
