Sauté them both with a little olive oil before adding to crockpot

• 1 can green chilies

• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1 tablespoon cumin

I add jalapeños & the juice for a little extra heat
Add all ingredients into crockpot on high for about 4 hours or until cooked
Chili is a beloved winter meal that not only warms you up but also brings comfort to your dining table. This easy beef chili recipe uses a crockpot to make the cooking process effortless, allowing you to prepare it in advance and enjoy it whenever you like. One of the best things about making chili is its versatility; you can switch up the ingredients based on what you have or prefer. For instance, if you're vegetarian, omit the ground beef and add more beans and vegetables. Adding toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and crispy Fritos enhances the dish further, making it even more enjoyable for family and friends. Did you know that chili can also be a great source of nutrition? The beans in this recipe are high in protein and fiber, which are essential for a healthy diet. Plus, the variety of spices, like cumin and coriander, not only adds depth to the flavor but also contributes to health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties. For chili enthusiasts, consider trying out variations such as adding sweet potatoes, corn, or different types of peppers for unique flavors. You can also experiment with different cooking methods, like stovetop simmering, if you prefer not to use a crockpot. Whether you enjoy it mild or with a kick, chili remains a family favorite that can warm hearts and homes throughout the chilly months.
