Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck pieces along with the diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned through and the onion is tender.
Add minced garlic to the mixture. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Drain off excess fat from the pot. Return the beef mixture back to the Dutch oven. Next, add in the drained beans, tomato sauce, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Carefully transfer it to a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Once cooked through, reduce the temperature to warm until you're ready to serve.
Transfer chili to serving bowls. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, or cilantro as desired.
