Directions
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and break into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon. Cook until thoroughly browned, stirring frequently, until cooked through (165°F), 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer meat to the slow cooker and stir in chili powder, cumin and salt. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, chiles, garlic and cornmeal. Stir in broth. Cover and cook 4 hours on HIGH or 7 hours on LOW. Let stand for at least 10 minutes, uncovered, after cooking for extra liquid to absorb.
Serve in bowls with toppings, as desired. Serve cornbread on the side.
