1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil (for browning)
Trim the excess fat from roast. Cut chuck roast into chunks. Add to a large bowl and season with a little chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
When ready to make your chili, heat a large stock pot over medium heat, add
2-3 tablespoon vegetable oil and brown beef in batches, not to over crowd the pan. Brown on all sides, and, remove with a slotted spoon to a large slow cooker. Now, add all remaining ingredients to a large (5 quart or larger) slow cooker and stir. Cook on low 6-8 hours, or on high 4-6 hours. Serve
