15 Bean Slow Cooker Chili
Description
This slow cooker chili uses a package of 15-bean soup mix featuring a range of beans providing different textures and flavors. Ground beef is browned first to develop flavor and drained before being combined with onions, diced green bell pepper, and beef broth in the slow cooker. Part of the chili seasoning mix is added at this stage, allowing the beans and vegetables to soften and blend over several hours on high heat.
After the initial cook, canned diced tomatoes with chilies, tomato paste, and the remaining chili seasoning are incorporated to enrich the chili’s flavor and thicken its consistency. Continued cooking melds the ingredients and deepens the spices. The slow cooker method ensures tender beans and a savory, layered chili suitable for a filling meal.
This chili pairs well with cornbread or over rice. It can be prepared in advance and reheated, making it convenient for busy days. Adjust the seasoning or thickness by varying the broth or tomato content to taste.
