Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the cooked meat.
Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked beef to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), Rotel tomatoes (with juice), drained corn kernels, undrained chili beans, rinsed and drained black beans, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, and dried minced onion flakes. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Slow Cook the Chili: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mixture on the LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chili to thicken to your desired consistency.

Notes

Using a slow cooker allows the flavors to develop deeply without much hands-on time.
For a spicier chili, add additional chili powder or diced jalapeños.
Serve with toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
If you prefer, ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of ground beef for a leaner version.
