Slow Cooker Chuck Roast Chili Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (2 pound) chuck roast, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 green bell peppers, diced
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup water
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
• 1 (15 ounce) can light red kidney beans
• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Valentina®)
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. Trim excess fat and ligaments from the chuck roast and cut into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
2. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chuck roast and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. Transfer the browned meat to a separate bowl and set aside.
3. Return the pot to medium heat. Add the remaining oil and vinegar to deglaze the pot, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers; cook until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the beef stock and water.
4. Incorporate the diced tomatoes, black beans, light and dark kidney beans, brown sugar, tomato paste, chili powder, barbecue sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, cumin, hot sauce, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Bring the chili to a gentle simmer, about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Cover the pot and continue simmering on low heat for 2 to 4 hours, or until the chuck roast is tender and the chili has thickened to your desired consistency.
