I got this recipe years ago from an old Food Network Magazine.
2 1/2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 4.5-ounce cans chopped green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 cup chili powder
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with chilies
1 to 2 tablespoons green hot sauce
Sliced scallions, fresh cilantro and/or sour cream, for topping
Tortilla chips, for serving (optional)

Note: Don't be afraid of all the chili powder in this recipe--the chili flavor mellows out in the slow cooker.
NOTE FROM LINDA: Since this is a food network recipe, I have to list it exactly as they do. However, let me add that the vegetable oil should be canola (a heart-healthy oil) and diabetics should substitute 1 tablespoon Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar.
2 tbsp packed light brown sugar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, smashed
2 4.5-ounce cans chopped green chilies, drained
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3/4 cup chili powder
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with chilies
1 to 2 tablespoons green hot sauce
Sliced scallions, fresh cilantro and/or sour cream, for topping
Tortilla chips, for serving (optional)
- Toss the beef with 1 tablespoon each brown sugar and salt in a large bowl. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef in batches until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes (do not crowd the pan). Transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. stir in the garlic, chiles, cumin and chili powder and cook 3 minutes. add 1 1/2 cups water and the tomatoes and simmer, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker, cover and cook on low, 7 hours.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and the hot sauce to the chili. Top with scallions, cilantro and/or sour cream. Serve with chips, if desired.
