Add oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the beef and do not move it for about 2-3 minutes, to get a nice sear on it.
Start breaking apart the beef with a wooden spoon and continue cooking until no longer pink. Drain excess fat, and transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the crockpot. Cover, then, set on HIGH to cook for about 4 hours, or on LOW to cook for 6 to 8 hours.
Serve hot and garnish with your favorite toppings.
