Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup beef or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the beef to your slow cooker, discarding excess grease.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for an additional 1 minute to toast the spices.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables and spices to the slow cooker with the ground beef.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, salt, black pepper, and broth to the slow cooker. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours or high heat for 2 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices as needed.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to scoop the taco filling into tortillas or use as a topping for nachos or rice bowls. Enjoy!
