| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Saute ground beef and onion in a frying pan until browned and onions are translucent. |
| 2 | Transfer the cooked beef and onion mixture to a crockpot. Add the can of diced tomatoes, along with their juice. |
| 3 | Add the uncooked wild rice to the crockpot. Cover everything with water, approximately 4 cups. Stir in chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Set the crockpot on high and cook for 1 hour. |
