My friend Keni's love of smoky chipotle peppers inspired this chili recipe. It comes together easily in the slow cooker and is a unique chili that always stands out. It is a spicy yet mellow chili that gives a kick without the lingering burn, like many chilis do.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 large onion , diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cans kidney beans , 16 ounce
2 cans chili beans , 16 ounce
2 cans diced tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
2 cans crushed tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
2 ribss celery , chopped
1 green bell pepper , coarsely chopped
0.5 reds bell pepper , chopped
0.5 cans chipotle chiles in adobo sauce , 7 ounce
0.5 packages bacon bits , 3 ounce
1 tablespoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce , such as Frank's RedHot®
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons brown sugar
0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
0.25 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and sausage in the hot skillet until some of the fat renders, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes more. Transfer beef mixture to a slow cooker.
2

Stir kidney beans, chili beans, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, celery, bell peppers, chipotle chiles, bacon bits, chili sauce, hot pepper sauce, chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, and salt into beef mixture.
3

Cook until vegetables are tender and celery retains a slight bite, 6 to 8 hours on Low or 3 to 4 hours on High.
