Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef (93-95%)
- 1 ¼ cups chopped yellow onion
- 1 poblano pepper or bell pepper, seeds removed and chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
- 15 ounce can chili beans
- 30 ounce black beans, rinsed and drained (2 cans)
- 4 ounce can diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- Optional toppings: sliced avocados, shredded cheese, corn chips, sour cream, cilantro
Instructions
- Saute: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, cook and crumble for 3 minutes. Add onions and peppers, cook for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, taco, and ranch seasoning, and cook for 1 minute.
- Slow Cooker: Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker. Add beans, green chilies, hot sauce, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Instant Pot: Drain excess grease from beef. Add all ingredients into the instant pot, stir to combine. Seal lid and cook on manual high pressure for 12 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then perform a quick release.
- Stovetop: Brown beef and aromatics in a dutch oven. Drain grease. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer, lower heat to medium-low, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Notes
If using homemade taco or ranch seasoning, use 2 tablespoons of each. Do not drain diced tomatoes for stovetop or instant pot methods.
