Slow Cooker Chuck Roast Chili

When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing quite like a warm, comforting bowl of chili to satisfy your hunger and soothe your soul. And if you’re looking for a recipe that’s not only delicious but also easy to make, then look no further than this slow cooker chuck roast chili. Packed with flavor and robust ingredients, it’s bound to become a favorite in your household.

I love this recipe because it’s a unique take on chili. The beef stew meat makes it hearty and oh-so scrumptious. I like to use beef stew meat that is bought already cut up to save time, but you can certainly cut up your own meat from a chuck roast as well.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lb beef stew meat
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 package chili seasoning
• 4 cups beef broth

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity; just a few key ingredients come together to create a symphony of flavors.
2. Combine Ingredients: Once everything is assembled, it’s time to start cooking. In your slow cooker, add the beef stew meat, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, kidney beans, minced garlic, tomato paste, chili seasoning, and beef broth. Give it all a good stir to ensure that the flavors meld together beautifully.
3. Cooking Time: Set your crockpot to cook on high for 4-5 hours, or if you have the luxury of time, opt for low and let it simmer for 8-10 hours. The low and slow cooking method is what truly transforms this chuck roast into a tender, melt-in-your-mouth delight.
4. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cooking time is up, ladle generous servings of this rich and flavorful chili into bowls. Feel free to get creative with your toppings; shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, or chopped cilantro are all excellent choices. Or, if you prefer to keep it simple, enjoy it just as it is, letting the robust flavors of the beef and beans take center stage.
5. Sharing is Caring: This recipe is perfect for sharing with family and friends. Whether you’re hosting a game day gathering or simply craving a cozy night in, this chuck roast chili is sure to impress. Plus, since it’s made in the slow cooker, you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the company of your loved ones.
6. Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers (although it’s doubtful there will be any!), this chili only gets better with time. Store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze individual portions for a quick and convenient meal on busy weeknights.
