Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs 90-percent lean ground beef
  • 4 cups cold low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz canned tomato sauce
  • 3 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Whisk raw beef into cold broth in a 6-quart crockpot until no clumps exceed pea size.
  2. Stir in onion, garlic, tomato sauce, chili powder, cocoa, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, Worcestershire, and salt.
  3. Cover; cook on low 7 to 8 hours, stirring firmly after 2 hours to break up gathered meat.
