Chop your zucchini and carrots into very small pieces.
Dice your onion.
Add the ground beef, carrots, onion, and zucchini into your crockpot.
Rinse and drain your beans well and then add them to the crockpot.

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. This recipe can be cooked longer, if needed.
Notes
One bag of baby carrots (about one pound, if you want to use regular carrots) and the zucchini may seem like a lot of veggies but once they are finely chopped and then cooked down they will blend into the chili.Nutritional information is an estimate only.
