Instructions: 1. Sear the ground beef in a pan over medium heat, using a spoon to crumble it. After the meat has lost its pink color, remove any extra fat.
2. Transfer the seared ground beef to your slow cooker.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the mixture.
4. Add the tomato sauce and tomato paste to make a flavorful and concentrated tomato foundation.
5. Now, let’s add some excitement! Incorporate the Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and sugar. These individuals are your ultimate champions of taste, I assure you.
6. Mix all the ingredients well until they are fully combined.
7. Place a cover on the dish and simmer on low heat for a duration of 6 to 8 hours. The chili is considered done when it has reached a thick consistency, has a strong scent, and causes your stomach to grumble.
8. If you like a more diluted texture for your chili, you may add a little amount of water until you get the required thickness.
9. Sample the dish and season with salt and pepper. If you choose to use red pepper flakes for an additional burst of flavor, now is the appropriate moment to incorporate them.
