Heat a pot over medium heat.

Sprinkle seasoning from the Level Up Series onto the meat.

Add chopped onions to the pot and let them cook down until they soften.

Use a meat chopper to break up any larger chunks of ground beef.

Cook the ground beef until there is no pink remaining.

Drain excess fat from the cooked beef using a colander.

Transfer the drained beef and onions into a crock pot.

Add spices: 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 tablespoon oregano to the crock pot and stir to combine.

Add in the beans (drained slightly) and a can of diced tomatoes and stir again.

Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture.

Pour in beef stock until desired consistency is reached.

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
