Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 2 cups broccoli
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 22 ounce canned tomato with jalapeno
  • 2.25 ounce canned green chile
  • ½ medium red onion
  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Chop your celery and red onions up to your size preference.
  • In a pan on high heat, brown your ground beef in 1 Tbsp. butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Start boiling some broccoli in a separate pan.
  • Once your ground beef starts sizzling, add half of your red onion.
  • Continue cooking your ground beef and mix the onion in so they can also caramelize.
  • In your slow cooker, put your celery, the rest of your onions, green chile, and 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno.
  • Add all of your spices to the mixture and leave it alone.
  • Your ground beef should be ready at this point. Turn off the heat.
  • Look at that, the broccoli is ready too. You don't want it to be tender, you still want it to have a nice crisp crunch to it.
  • Drain your broccoli and add it to the slow cooker.
  • Add your ground beef along with all of the fat to the slow cooker.
  • Mix it well, turn your slow cooker to high heat and let it cook for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, add the rest of your tomatoes and jalapenos, and add 1 cup of beef broth.
  • Cover and cook for an additional 3 hours.
  • You can serve it now (I was hungry!), but what I recommend is to leave the top off of the slowcooker and let it reduce until the sauce is less water. It drives much more flavor into the ingredients - and, well, makes it more chili like.
  • Top it with cheese, or eat it by itself.
