- 1 red pepper, diced
- 2 green pepper, diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon diced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
- 15 oz. can of diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 15 oz. can tomato sauce, no salt added
- 1 cups of beef broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of cumin

For the Toppings (Optional)

Instructions
- Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Add avocado oil and onion to the skillet. Saute until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon throughout the cooking process.
- Once the meat is cooked through, place the ground beef mixture, red and green pepper, carrots, chipotle peppers, crushed tomatoes, diced fire roasted tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, coriander and oregano in the crock pot.
- Stir, cover, and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-7 hours.
- Then add black beans, kidney beans and pinto beans.
- Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed
- Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and diced avocado.
Notes
- To store. Keep your chili in the fridge in an airtight container. It should last there for 3-4 days, if needed.
- To reheat. Simply use the microwave, and heat up a bowl in 30 second intervals.
- To freeze. Allow the chili to cool completely. Then, place it in a freezer safe storage bag or container – I like to label mine with the date I made it. Place it in the freezer, and the chili will keep for up to 3 months.
