Slow Cooker Smoky Beef Chili

with Black Beans, Crema, and Corn Tortillas

If there ever was a recipe that’s practically made for slow cooking, chili is it. When you make the Southwestern classic in your machine, all of the spices and seasonings have a chance to bring out their best flavors and meld together into savory, satisfying harmony. In our version, the prep is super-duper easy, too. Just make sure to plan ahead, since the cooking takes 6–8 hours depending on the heat setting.
