directions

Step 1

In a large pan, add oil, and heat to medium-high.

Step 2

Once heated, add meat, cooking until browned.

Step 3

Add garlic, onion, peppers, carrot, celery, and corn, along with spices. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until everything becomes fragrant, and onions begin to turn slightly translucent.

Step 4

In a slower cooker, add ingredients from your pan, then return the pan to your element, deglaze with coffee, and add to slow cooker.

Step 5

Add in the beans, and tomato, cooking on low for around 8 hours, or high for about 4 hours. If you are using unsoaked beans, you will likely need to cook for a longer time period on low, for the beans to soften up (I cooked the chili this way, and cooked for about 8 hours on low).

Step 6

Once cooked, serve with a some shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, diced red onion, and some nice bread.
