Instructions

Brown the ground beef or ground turkey in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion halfway through the browning process and cook until soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Drain any excess grease and transfer the meat mixture to the crock pot.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth and tomato paste until smooth. Pour this mixture over the meat in the crock pot.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, kidney beans, pinto beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and cayenne to the crock pot. Stir everything to combine.
