To ensure impeccably fresh meat, we recommend grinding it yourself with an electric meat grinder. Try using boneless chuck with some of the outer fat still attached.
Ingredients:
- 5 lb. ground beef
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 can (28 oz.) chopped tomatoes with
juices - 6 to 8 Tbs. chili powder
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1⁄3 cup cornmeal
- 2 cups unsalted beef stock
- Sour cream, chopped red onion, grated,
cheddar cheese and/or chopped fresh cilantro
for garnish
Directions:
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, brown half the beef, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining beef.
Add the garlic, yellow onion, tomatoes with juices, chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, cornmeal and stock to the slow cooker and stir to blend. Cover and cook for 6 hours on low according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Skim the fat off the surface of the chili. Ladle the chili into warmed bowls and garnish with sour cream, red onion, cheese and/or cilantro.
Serves 8 to 10.

All time favorite chili recipe!
This is the best beef chili recipe I’ve ever made. Simple, delicious. I also add a bit of ground clove and cinnamon which really boosts the smoky, spiced flavor. I’ve also made it on the stove and it came out just as delicious. Freezes well, too.

Family Favorite for YEARS
I started using this recipe (as a base since I tend to "tweak" just about every recipe I try) about 7-8 yrs ago. Now, it's a family tradition that I make me "Updated Version" of 6 hr Chili every Halloween (or just about any cold day in Michigan!! LOL). My changes are: 1/2 Ground Beef, Half Spicy Sausage, add 2 Chopped Jalapeños, 1 tb Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, 1 ts Cayenne Pepper and 1-2 c Spicy V8 Juice instead of the Beef Stock (sometime w/do both, depending on what is in my pantry). We also like to add avocados for toppings!!

Browsing on stove top, wonderful option
I’ve had my Al Clad slow cooker for several years now and simply love it. I’ve made this chili recipe at least 20+ times over the years, it’s simply delicious. I’ve tried several recipes that came with my cooker and they are all great.

Great place to start
Everyone has their own variations on chili and this is a great starting point to build upon and add your own flair. I only make a couple of modifications; ground turkey substitution, 1 can of kidney beans, and a 1/8 cup chipotle chilis. But this recipe would be pretty good on it's own.

Great Chili Recipe
My family loves this Chili. I do add a can or two of pinto beans with jalapenos for extra spice. I also tend to add the lesser amount of chili power. The chili has an excellent flavor and is adaptable.

Excellent!
This is an excellent recipe. I think it would be great made as is, however, I did make a few minor changes (as I usually do with recipes). My family prefers to have some beans in our chili, so I made this using 3 lbs. of 93% lean ground beef and two cans of drained black beans. I ended up using 8 Tbs. high quality chili powder because we like things spicy. I also substituted masa harina for the cornmeal since I had some on hand and it's more flavorful.
Everyone raved about the chili and it's even better a few days later. We got 7 large dinner sized servings out of this recipe. This is my new go-to recipe!

Disappointed
I had been looking for a great slow cooker recipe for my family. I stumbled upon this recipe and was anxious to try it out. When we finally tried this recipe it was so disappointing. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. I should have known something was off when I saw how much chilli powder was included in the recipe-even with the amount of ground beef it called for.

This Is My Go-To Chili Recipe
For more years than I can remember... "6 Hour Chili" recipe has been my go-to chili. I stumbled across it in a Williams-Sonoma Christmas catalog, under slow-cookers, side column... it was instant..."I've got to try this recipe" and was an tasty success. You can spice the recipe up. It's great with or without a beans... Sour cream, grated cheese, red onion toppings make this "go-to" chili recipe complete. Mm-Mm Good.
