Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a large frying pan, add the ground beef and begin to brown on a medium flame. Cook until the meat is 90% of the way cooked, as it will continue to cook as it is in the slow cooker.
Season the meat with paprika, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Then set aside.
In the slow cooker, pour in the ground beef and layer in the other ingredients like diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, and black beans.
Pour in the can of tomato sauce, then add in another layer of salt, pepper, chili powder.
Close the lid to the slow cooker and cook on a low setting for up to 5 hours. Stir occasionally.
