Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs leftover prime rib, cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, brown the cubed prime rib over medium-high heat. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
  2. Transfer the browned prime rib to a slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, and diced green chilies.
  5. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  6. Pour in the beef broth.
  7. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
  9. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

For a spicier chili, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes. This chili is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
