Crockpot Chipotle Steak Chili

Let your crockpot make your game-day chili for you! This flavorful steak chili is unbelievably cozy and the beef is fall-apart tender.—Only 10 minutes prep time, then your crockpot does all the work!

Spoiler alert: you’re not actually going to have to put any effort into your chili night anymore.

Return of the lazy dinners in other words. It’s quickly becoming our thing around here…

And I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna choose not to be mad about that. ??

I’m gonna choose instead to be excited about a steak chili night like noooooo other.

So basically, guys, I wasn’t even slightly exaggerating up there when I said lazy dinner people, REJOICE! This steak chili literally does require no time-consuming work.

Conveniently because honestly, we have better things to do than slaving over chili for hours. Like making cookies perhaps? Yeah, for sure.

In between our cookie affairs, though…here’s the only chili work on your part: >>>

a) Browning the steak cubes with onions + garlic until golden. (the beef won’t be cooked through all the way)

b) Piling the browned beef in the crockpot along with diced tomatoes, black beans, tomato paste, chicken broth, jarred chipotle, and a ton of spices. Go big flavors or go home.

And that is basically it, you guys. Set that crockpot on low and let it all cook low ‘n’ slow for about 5 hours. During this time SO much dang awesome flavor will develop and the steak will get unbelievably soft and fall-apart tender.

It is now the time to consider chili toppings and I would recommend going heavy on all of ’em. But especially the avocado.

Always, always, alwaaaaaays…

Lazy-girl chili is now officially my favorite and it’s soon going to be yours.
