Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, kidney beans, black beans, and beef broth to the crockpot.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the ingredients in the crockpot.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Once the chili is done, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or spices if needed.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or diced avocado. Enjoy!
