This crockpot chili is a hearty and flavor-loaded recipe that's cooked nice and slow so the flavors meld and each spoonful is better than the one before!
In a large saucepan over medium-heat, combine the ground beef, onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 10 minutes, or until meat is browned and onion is tender. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Drain grease, if needed.
Place beef in the slow cooker. Add in broth, tomato sauce, chili seasoning, brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well. Then add in the beans and rotel. Add water if needed to thin it out.
Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Salt and pepper to taste. Add more chili seasoning if you'd like to take up the heat.
Ladle chili into bowls. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
