Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Chili! Ooeey, gooey cheese and big chunks of lean ground beef. Your slow cooker does all the work!

After enjoying a nice break from the cold and snow, we had a beautiful Wisconsin Amber

Now, I’m no chili expert but I have made chili several times in my kitchen and this one is the bomb!! Maybe it was the Wisconsin cheddar, maybe it was the beer. .  or maybe it was slow cooking it, allowing all the flavors to meld together. . and I’m calling this one Cheeseburger Chili because I purposely did not break up my beef so you would have big chunks of ground beef, along with a lot of cheddar cheese in every bite.

Freaking delicious.

How this all comes together. .   Heat some oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and red and green bell peppers, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic, a lot of chili powder, and cumin, stir to coat the vegetables, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef, being careful not to break it up too small (remember, you want some nice big chunks) and cook, until the beef is no longer pink.

Transfer the mixture to your slow cooker, add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beer and beans, and stir to combine. Cover and cook until the chili thickens and the flavors meld, for about 8 hours on low or 6 hours on high.
