Instructions
- Pat the roast dry then cut into 3 inch chunks. Sprinkle all sides with salt.
- Heat oil in a medium/large skillet over medium high heat. Add the meat a few pieces at a time to ensure the pan is not crowded. Cook to sear the meat approximately 2 minutes on each side. Once meat is seared remove and place in the slow cooker, continue until all pieces of meat are seared.
- Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened. Add in the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Pour the contents of the skillet (including any juices/bits of meat) into the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker: tomato sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, diced green chiles, chili powder, ground cumin, black pepper, garlic powder, and light brown sugar.
- Stir to combine. Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
- Serve in bowls with optional toppings.

Notes
- Spice Level: Use less chili powder if concerned about heat level. As written with the full 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) of chili powder it has a medium heat. With sour cream and cheese none of my children complain of the spice level.
- Chuck Roast: This cut of beef becomes incredibly tender when slow-cooked, absorbing all the spices and flavors for a rich, hearty texture.
- Fire-Roasted Tomatoes: Adds a smoky, slightly charred flavor that elevates the depth of the chili’s sauce. If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes you can sub with regular diced tomatoes.
- Diced Green Chiles: These don't carry much heat with them. To amp up the spice add a diced jalapeño.
- Onion & Garlic: Yellow onions are best, but white will work. Both fresh garlic cloves and garlic powder are used for more flavoring.
- Chili Spice Blend: A blend of salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder adds flavor and a touch of heat.
- Light Brown Sugar: I love adding this to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Substitute with honey if preferred, or simply leave it out.
- Beans: There are no beans included in this recipe, but feel free to add some if you want! Great options would include red kidney beans, black beans, or pinto beans.
- Refrigerator: Let the chili cool completely before transferring it into airtight containers. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the chili. Place it in freezer-safe containers or bags, leaving a little room for expansion. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer. Make sure to label the containers with the date. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a splash of broth or water if needed to loosen it up during reheating.
